Perhaps you can’t read. My son’s pay was cut in half. That’s a fact. It is obvious Boehner did not protect our soldiers. What other conclusion can be drawn from this? Please be specific.
Tell me, do you think it’s perfectly ok for deployed soldiers to have their pay cut while in harm’s way? It’s not like they can hang out at the union hall or the pool is it? The people trying to kill them certainly aren’t taking a time out. Are they?
Did Boehner cut your son's pay in half?
Hint: The Speaker of the House doesn't have the power to do that. Indeed, the House is the body that appropriated the money he was to be paid with in the first place.
O.K. Who did it?
The Pentagon. Isn't that who cuts military pay checks?
Who does the Pentagon report to?
Hint: It ain't the Speaker of the House. It's the President.
And that would be who?
And exactly what was it you believe Boehner and the House should have done? They passed a bill that authorized the military be paid in full in the event of a government shutdown. What else should they have done?
Your ire is legitimate. But shouldn't it be directed toward those who are actually responsible?
