Priorities. Unaccounted for money for Ukraine but a strict review for the military for an administration that has no concern for annual deficits.
(DCNF)—The Biden administration “strongly opposes” a proposal to raise the pay of junior enlisted service members in the military — even after nearly spending seven times the proposed amount on Ukraine and the broader region’s security.
The House Armed Services Committee’s (HASC) draft of the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would give all junior troops a pay raise, representing a rough total of $24.4 billion over five years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The Biden administration said in a statement on Tuesday that it does not support the proposed “significant, permanent” pay hike until it has had a chance to conduct a compensation review.
“The Administration is strongly committed to taking care of our Servicemembers and their families, and appreciates the Committee’s concern for the needs of the most junior enlisted members, but strongly opposes making a significant, permanent change to the basic pay schedule before the completion of the Fourteenth Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation,” the White House budget office said.

What would you expect from "lunch box" Joe
Democrats will put this in a bill that includes legalizing pedophilia or something equally insane and then blame the GOP House for being anti-military for voting against it. Their media will carry that message and Retards including the dipshit Leftists here will buy it and remain ignorant.
