At least he's increasing pay.
Everybody here increases pay. There were some good ones under Clinton if you forget the few times where we wondered if we would get paid and the time checks were actually late due to snippy little budget battles he had with Congress. Dems are good for military pay, all part of that "We support the troops" pandering. Going on to mean of course but we don't support the war those nasty republicans started and you poor dumb brutes are fighting in, not knowing why, doing crazy things like volunteering and re-upping and all. You poor children, here's a pay raise cookie. Every presidential appearance is a dog and pony show, Dick Cheney did the best one I've been at, said he wasn't going to talk long because he knew how long everyone had been standing there.
