President Obama to Return 5% of his Salary -- Big Whoop!
As a show of solidarity with federal workers being forced to take furlough’s over the Democrats inability to curb their out of control spending habits and the implementation of the Sequester cuts, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and his Deputy Ashton Carter declared they would be returning part of their salary.
President Obama, not wanting to miss this “I’m a great guy” publicity freebie like he does free throws on the basketball court – immediately jumped on the bandwagon and offered to return part of his salary….
From The New York Times –
President Obama plans to return 5 percent of his salary to the Treasury in solidarity with federal workers who are going to be furloughed as part of the automatic budget cuts known as the sequester, an administration official said Wednesday.
The voluntary move would be retroactive to March 1, the official said, and apply through the rest of the fiscal year, which ends in September. The White House came up with the 5 percent figure to approximate the level of spending cuts to nondefense federal agencies that took effect that day.
“The president has decided that to share in the sacrifice being made by public servants across the federal government that are affected by the sequester, he will contribute a portion of his salary back to the Treasury,” the official said. (More…)
This offer of returning a pittance of $20,000, should not only be an affront to the furloughed federal workers but also to all the unemployed, under employed and low-paid working men & women that President Obama claims to be out there fighting for while he frolics in a $24,500 a week vacation home.
In reality, we see the indifference and the “Let them eat cake” attitude of President Obama & Michelle Obama towards the American public with their continued vacationing on our dime, our paying for gun-carrying government babysitter’s so his children can take lavish Spring Break vacations at Paradise Island, and President Obama’s #2 – Joe Biden also taking his 3rd tax payer funded vacation this year.
But not too worry! These soon to be furloughed workers can take solace that President Obama has his best people hard at work on big picture type economic studies that will create jobs for them.
