Not really the leftist was just trying to sound relevant.Trump was after the raise for the troops and to modernize our military.he would have vetoed the thing if the troops had not got the money.8 years with out a raise Obama should have been horse whipped.But he did just like every demorat
and cut or military to the bone . We have to keep our military up to date or die to bad the left can't see the dangers,but then they want our country defeated.

I always thought Obama was setting us up for defeat. Thank God he didn't quite have time enough and we now have someone to turn the tables on his plan.

Just like the Muslim dummy trump has a pen and a phone so we will see how irrelevant he is when drops both on your head.

I hate to break it to you, but the amount troops are getting paid has everything to do with the Pentagon. They have bankrupted the armed services with their insistence (obsession) with ridiculously ludicrously over budget toys that half the time the military doesn't want or need. The number of classified multi billion dollar fails would freak the public out if they ever got that true story. I was closely involved with enough major fails that were all about managing wastes of money, all highly classified because of the money and often being built without congressional approval for the money. The Bradley Fighting Vehicle, it was a fail before it was ever built, the prototype was a disaster. Pentagon damage control? Use them as barrier reef structural foundation (otherwise known as dump em in the ocean), and start over with new prototypes and production on a better one. Nevermind the fact that it was a worthless vehicle whose only thing it did was supposedly carry a few soldiers in armored safety. I worked for FMC, I saw the creativity with which that defense contractor could think of things to overbill the pentagon for.

Obama was trying to hold the pentagon accountable for the $6.5 Trillion they could not account for. An investigation that died when Trump took office. Just as the conclusion of the two year long audit and investigation that had determined that there was $2 Trillion unaccounted for early in the Bush administration.

Obama tightening on the pentagon was designed to cut waste and fraud, something the military truly excels at. Wages and how the troops are outfitted as in armor and gear is a tiny tiny fraction of what the military spends. The GAO did an investigation on pentagon waste and fraud, and reported that there was significant money to be saved, double digit percentages. Along with that they concluded that counter to the argument that cutting funds would harm the mission, it was their conclusion that careful oversight and accountability would actually result in higher quality goods and services at less money.

This has nothing to do with the article.

Besides the spending on all budget items was subject to the sequester laws....something the Dems and Repubs imposed on each other.

Feel better now that your Obama obsession has been voiced?

Another Obama bashing. You do know the President is Trump, right? And that the article was about his Presidency?

You know that is not a bad idea, tie ovommit, hitlery, pelosi, shummer, lynch, comey, holder, rice, and mueller up to a buckboard and have them pull it through the streets of America while horsewhipping their evil arses the whole way.

working class stiff: "the author makes an interesting case" point maybe, not case. Elaine was a senior staffer with the Clinton admin. where she created the LARGEST government reform effort, the "National Performance Review" (improve the performance of gov. entities to benefit all people) Has that happened? Did the tax dollars she spent benefit all the people? I'm going with; "not really the leftist was trying to sound relevant"
