Presidential Debt Commission Recommends Military Pay Freeze As Most Gov’t Employees Enjoy Raises: "
RWB News: As the number of federal workers earning $150,000 or more a year has soared tenfold in the past five years and doubled since President Obama took office, how can this debt commission even waste the paper to write such a thing? As more and more Military need to depend on food stamps….Yes Food Stamps…..Military.com says these jokers want to Freeze their pay and housing allowances for 3 years as their Boss Obama causes inflation….sounds like a great deal in Liberal Land.
They also recommended cuts to Social Security and Medicare, reduce income-tax rates and eliminate tax breaks including the mortgage-interest deduction and raise the gas tax…..This is called “fear mongering” by Liberals when a Conservative says it.
As Reported By Military.com
A presidential commission on reducing the deficit has recommended freezing basic military pay and housing allowances for three years starting in 2011, according to a draft report of the commission’s recommendations posted online Wednesday.
“A three-year freeze at 2011 levels for these compensation categories would save the federal government $7.6 billion in compensation and tax expenditures, as well as another $1.6 billion in less retirement accrual, or $9.2 billion total discretionary savings in 2015,” it said.
Let the DoD and your elected officials know how you feel about these cost cutting proposals.
The move would not affect combat pay, the report said.
A White House spokesman could not be reached for comment.
The recommendation is likely to get a cool reception in Congress.
