Re: Shameless: Trump lies to troops about pay raises
Who even mentioned Obama? Check the title of the thread - does it mention Obama? My point was that the military hadn't received any significant raises for a long time/Now, if I understood your link correctly.......
What happened in 2009, and 2010? Why were the raise percentages so high back then? To which great president should we applaud for those kind of military pay raises? C'mon. You can say it. "Praise be to Obama!" Right?!?!? (I bet you ckoked on that one. LOL!) Obama pay raises beat the hell out of Trump's according to your link. I don't hear you singing Obama praises. To which majority party in the House of Representatives do we owe our gratitude to? Oh my! It was those evil democrats giving our soldier's those pay increases!
Incidentially, what is the significance of "nine years?" Why not 10? 11? 12? 20?
And, looking at the link you provided regarding military pay (thank you, by the way,) why, oh why, the drop off in military pay increases in 2011? Ker-plunk! Could it possibly be that Obama lost his house? Could it possibly be that the GOP took the majority?
Say it isn't so!
It would be interesting to know the historical rates of military pay increases in co-relation to which majority occupied the house and senate during the up years vs. the down years. I think we might all be surprised.
