The Obama regime just voted to give our military a 1.4 percent pay raise – the lowest since 1962, when they got no raise.
Are you surprised? Of course not but the real motivation for this will probably surprise you.
The primary reason for this ridiculously low pay increase is that the Obamunists’ desperately want to weaken the military. They know that they cannot even think on attempting a coup as long as the military is strong and vehemently opposed to their Marxist agenda.
The second reason is that the military is ,now more then ever in the last twenty years or so, overwhelmingly white and Christian. Both of those are things that Obama hates with a passion.
So how much did the military get? A private with less then two years in grade will see his pay increase by $20 per month! The young 17, 18, 19 or ever 20 year old kid fresh out of boot camp and on his way to Afghanistan or Iraq will get a $20 per month increase in pay.
Let’s contrast that to the bonuses received by bankers. They get these bonuses as payment for having had the brilliance to destroy our economy and help Obama make serfs of us and our children.
The New York Times lamented how the Goldman Sachs bonus pool will not be as big as expected “Despite a record 2009, the bank announced that it had set aside only $16.2 billion to reward its employees.” Source
Citibank. In response to the Obama mandated bonus limits Citibank has decided to increase employee salaries by 50%. No not for everyone but just for certain employees. Please keep in mind that our troops get a 1.4% increase
Bank of America. Bloomberg reports that bank of America will pay out record bonuses. “some people will be getting very good bonuses because they had a very good year,” Bank of America spokesman Robert Stickler said. ” source
Morgan Stanley, also based in New York, set aside $10.9 billion for compensation for the first three quarters of last year. source
Well, here you have it. These are the banks to which Obama gave billions of dollars for if not the world would end. Where would the world be without our military? Twenty damn dollars…
