This Regime may be good for a photo-op staged with members of the U.S. military and may even provide a little scrambled-logic lip service for the mass propaganda media to capture and wax patriotic, however, they have failed miserably again to support the rank-and-file military service members.
This from thepatriotjournal.com.
Joe Biden and his political allies have pledged to support nations across the world with billions of dollars in war-fighting aid. All the while, the Left has led the charge to withhold money needed to aid U.S. military personnel. That is money in the form of renumeration for services provided.
From The Daily Caller:
The [Regime] ‘strongly opposes’ a proposal to raise the pay of junior enlisted service members in the military—even after nearly spending seven times the proposed amount on Ukraine and the broader region’s security.
The House Armed Services Committee’s (HASC) draft of the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would give all junior troops a pay raise, representing a rough total of $24.4 billion over five years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The [Regime] said in a statement on Tuesday that it does not support the proposed ‘significant, permanent’ pay hike until it has had a chance to conduct a compensation review.
This is a shocking position from the White House after The Regime spent more than $175 billion on aid to Ukraine and European security since 2022. The pretender-in-chief has stroked his executive pen to sign off on all this aid, but now the Kenyan in the basement refuses to pony up the funds to support enlisted service members.
By comparison, according to Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), The Regime has freely given the Ukrainian government $11,500 per Ukrainian household.
Banks said:
It’s shameful. When accounting for inflation, the average American makes less today than when Joe Biden took office.
The White House wants to block Republicans from giving our troops the raise they need to make ends meet in the Biden economy.
The Regime’s snub of funds for the military was a slap in the face to bipartisan members of the HASC. Members sought the pay increase for junior troops to boost recruiting and retention, which has been a significant problem for the military.
The HASC conducted a year-long study that revealed:
[S]ervice members, especially junior enlisted service members and service members supporting large families, struggle to afford housing and feed their families.
Pay for junior troops is not competitive compared to the civilian job market, especially with high inflation, according to the study. Junior troops were awarded smaller pay raises than senior troops—or no raise at all—in eight of the last 40 years.
HASC member Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said:
Joe Biden must hate our military. While families of our junior enlisted struggle on food stamps, this administration opposes their pay raises and wants to force-feed them pronoun training and drag queen story hour.
Further:
If Biden had any PRIDE at all in our troops, he’d support the long overdue pay raise House Republicans have passed.
In the end, it’s clear The Obiden Regime’s actions do not match its words when it comes to supporting our troops. While they may pretend to support our military, they consistently fall short on actually providing the necessary funds to improve the lives of our service members.
It’s frustrating to see money redirected to foreign aid while our own soldiers struggle.
The American people must vote accordingly this November—to hold our leaders accountable and ensure those who protect our nation receive the support they truly deserve.
