Pay for a ground pounding front line warrior $17,366.40 per year.
Pay for a first year congress member $174,000 per year.
Senate president & party leaders $193,000 per year.
US president $400,000 per year. and they get a life time of health care and a pension plan to die for.

There are no congress members or senators dying for this country. In fact the biggest threat to their health is cardiac problems from sitting on their asses doing jack squat. Or maybe catching an STD from screwing an intern.
And Mr. Obama wants to freeze military pay, IN AN EFFORT TO CURB GOVERNMENT SPENDING.
These brave young men and women are sacrificing their time, their liberty and in some cases the very lives. In return they get pay that is below the poverty level and if they get injured they get to wait in line and beg the VA to approve them for care. The average amount of time for a veteran to get approved for coverage after being injured is 5 years. The average life span for a military member after spending 20 years in the service: 5 years.
The last President who tried to save money by freezing military pay, was that ONE TERM, PEANUT FARMER "Jimma" Carter.

If you would be so kind, run a Snopes on this. This is incorrect.
ReplyDeleteWhoever started this lie used part of a report from the NCFRR commission. Ya'all remember them, the ones who said retirement age should be set at 70 by the year 2075.
The TRUTH is our President Barack Obama's new budget released in Feb 2010 includes a pay RAISE for our military of 1.4%.

Charlene, even if it is the case, it's still bullshit that jobs get cut but not the congressman's pay. They waste so much of our time and money and cut jobs and public services but don't you dare touch their salary!
