I mentioned earlier that the Obama Administration moved to freeze government employees’ pay today<\/a>. Not to be outdone, Steny Hoyer, the soon-to-be minority whip from Maryland said that the president should also freeze military pay as well according to The Hill<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said including the military would have increased savings and add \u201can element of fairness.” He made the comments in a statement about he president\u2019s announcement of a two-year pay freeze. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An added “element of fairness” would be to freeze Congressional pay including Congressional staff, wouldn’t it Steny? Ya dope. It’s funny because I got an email from a journalist this afternoon who told me that he couldn’t get a straight answer to his inquiries to the White House on the subject of the eventuality of a military pay freeze.<\/p>\n

The Maryland Democrat also urged the administration to back a more comprehensive program to reduce the nation\u2019s soaring deficit, along the lines of proposals from the president\u2019s fiscal commission and a separate debt panel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, after the Democrat Congress went on the largest spending spree in the history of the world, now all of a sudden Hoyer is Peter Pinchpenny. It sure is easy to be in the minority .<\/p>\n

Then Hoyer went on to demonstrate that he doesn’t understand this whole war thingie, he says;<\/p>\n

…with a strong exception for the members of our military and civilian employees risking their lives on our behalf in Afghanistan, Iraq, and anywhere else they are serving in harm’s way.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How would Hoyer freeze the pay of military members who are not in a shooting war and not freeze the pay of those involved in the war? Does he think that one group is perpetually at war while the other is perpetually not at war? I’d like to see his math on that one. Of course, he’s talking to a bunch of morons who don’t know any differently. <\/p>\n
