Hoyer: We should freeze military pay, too
I mentioned earlier that the Obama Administration moved to freeze government employees’ pay today. 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;
Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said including the military would have increased savings and add “an element of fairness.” He made the comments in a statement about he president’s announcement of a two-year pay freeze.
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.
