Servicemen in Oahu are having their Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) reduced by 62.5%

That's absolutely brutal

At this rate they will have them training to panhandle the corner stores and intersections in no time.

Meanwhile if you’re an illegal immigrant you can do whatever you want paid for by the government

Was the COLA rate too much before? There is nothing to frame around this to even form an opinion.

Hawaii has always had the highest COLA for Fedgov. Alaska was #2.

Hawaii is about as expensive as rural Alaska. This is pretty huge.

ETA: I wouldn't have been able to live in rural Alaska with this kind of COLA cut, not without my wife also working.

Someone should tell our govt if they want to be tyrants they need to keep the military happy

Actually don’t tell them. I prefer the military on our side

Anytime the mention a percentage instead of a dollar amount I question it.

So crushed military is what they hope will protect them if this thing pops

So will this reduction automatically come with paperwork to enroll them in food stamps?

Now we know why they were encouraging mitary families to apply for Food Stamps last week.
