smh, what a pathetic administration 

From the article:

Hunt slammed this opposition, saying, "It's truly remarkable to me. … President Biden has approved over $100 billion in student loan forgiveness. But when it comes to our troops, America's most precious resource, he's complaining about an increase in military pay?"

"I think it's an embarrassment for the whole country if we can't increase pay for our troops," said Hunt. "Inflation is up 20% since Biden entered office, the least he could do is increase military pay to keep up with the inflation that he caused."

Hunt said the left tries to push "unrelated nonsense" through the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) each year, and said there are other things that can be cut to reduce spending instead.

True on the military pay raise.  But he's spending 7 times more on Ukraine.  

From the article:  The House Armed Services Committee’s (HASC) draft of the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) proposed a $24 billion pay raise to enlisted U.S. service members. However, the Biden Administration said that it “strongly opposes” approving such a “significant” and “permanent” pay raise, citing budgetary constraints."  No such concern when it comes to Ukraine!  Well, actually, no concern with any other spending.  Of course no one gets kick backs from a military increase!  LOL!

He knows he won't lose any votes by crapping on our servicemen and women that aren't voting for him anyway, but he also knows he'll get votes by paying off student loans that folks chose to not pay back.
