Once Again Our Islamist President Uses His Authority to Cut Military Pay

Obama has for the second year in row used his executive powers to put a cap on pay raises for our loyal armed forces

It’s just not right for the President of the United States to be a lap dog for any foreign entity and even more so if that favored group is a terrorist inclined quasi religious gathering of foreigners who are anti-American at heart.  This current occupant of our Oval Office fits that description totally.

Obama has for the second year in row used his executive powers to put a cap on pay raises for our loyal armed forces and is repeating the mistakes of past administrations that were intent on degrading and insulting to our military by not allowing legitimate pay increases. 

According to a letter from the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) dated September 5, 2014 an “active duty pay raise is determined by private sector wage growth, measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Employment Cost Index (ECI). The ECI calls for a 1.8 percent pay raise in 2015.”

According to the MOAA letter, “From 2000 to 2012, Congress worked hard to eliminate a 13.5 percent military pay gap with the private sector caused by repeatedly capping military raises in the 1980s and ‘90s.

“But the restoration of military pay comparability with the private sector is under threat. Pay has been capped for two years, and the administration’s FY 2015 budget proposes to continue caps for a total of six years.”

Americans who support their military forces need to get their wishes in this matter made known to the socialist liberal Democrats in the U. S. Senate and ask those communistic thinking, very highly OVERPAID blue-bloods to get back down to earth and compensate our armed force protectors fairly.

MOAA also stated that “Earlier this year, the (Republican controlled) House (of Representatives) rejected the (Obama) administration’s pay (cut) cap and authorized a 1.8 percent raise in its version of the FY 2015 defense authorization bill and appropriated funding to pay for it. The (Democrat controlled) Senate Armed Services Committee supported the administration’s 1.0 percent cap.” 

MOAA continued, “To reverse the President’s decision to cap pay in 2015, Congress would need to override the President’s authority to alter the pay raise from the ECI.”
