The president has nothing to do with the pay raise... (show quote)
You left the rest of this out. Seem like ole sarg is a little bit forgetful.
The Bureau of Labor's ECI is not the final say, however. The U.S. President may adjust the pay raise because of "because of national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare," according to §602 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2004. The President must submit the adjustment to Congress before September 1st of the preceding year, along with his or her reasons for adjustment.
In the President's evaluation of the economic condition affecting the general welfare, economic measures such as:
•The Indexes of Leading Economic Indicators
•The Gross Domestic Product
•The unemployment rate
•The budget deficit
•The Consumer Price Index
•The Producer Price Index
•The Employment Cost Index
•The Implicit Price Deflator for Personal Consumption Expenditures
Congress can also v**e to change the President's proposed increase, as they did for fiscal year 2010. Military pay has raised every year, including under Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton.
