Remember when Pelosi said that the Trump tax cut, which gave many taxpayers a $1000 check, gave people “crumbs?” Well, her House has come up with a plan to help offset inflation, high gas prices, and food and baby formula shortages with an “up to $90” a month allowance. This is surely more than “crumbs,” right?<\/p>\n
From Military Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n Troops could receive monthly bonuses to counter rising inflation costs under a proposal adopted by House lawmakers on Wednesday, but a separate plan to guarantee service members a $15-an-hour minimum wage was rejected by chamber appropriators.<\/p>\n The moves signal further congressional support for keeping the military pay raise at 4.6% for next year while lawmakers look for other ways to help boost military families finances amid increasing gas and grocery prices.<\/p>\n The bonuses were included in an amendment by the House Armed Services Committee\u2019s annual authorization bill adding $37 billion to the president\u2019s $773 billion defense spending proposal.<\/p>\n That total includes about $7.4 billion to counter inflation, with $1.4 billion for personnel issues like housing stipend boosts, commissary support, and the monthly bonuses proposal.<\/p>\n Under the plan, troops who receive less than $45,000 in basic pay would be eligible for monthly payouts of 2.4% of their salary. That would mean up to $90 extra each month for those service members.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Interestingly enough, Trump’s $1000 of crumbs is a\u00a0tad\u00a0<\/em>less than this. If you qualify for the full $90, you’ll get $1,080 crumbs from Congress. At the same time though, AOC is complaining<\/a> that she’s not making enough with her $174,000 a year compensation package.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
