Horse hockey.. that the tax plan had nothing to do about the salaries. The bill concerning the increase in pay of enlisted personal was 2 months before the tax bill of 2001. The amount of the increase in pay had to be decreased by 30% by the democrat leadership in the Senate or they threatened fillabuster.

The tax cut is a common scape-goat and the two have nothing in common. To be honest I can think of 100's of social programs I would cut in order to give the enlisted personel the money they should get for protecting our asses.
