Trump rebrands Congressionally-approved troop housing subsidy as ‘warrior dividend’ bonus

More than $2.9 billion in reconciliation funds was allocated to beef up troop housing allowances. Now it’s being used for $1,776 checks.

Honestly, this makes it go from meh to better for me. Not just a stupid handout like student loan bailouts.

We still have seen zero evidence of anything foul from Trump regarding the Epstein thing. Even the NYT has acknowledged that.

Big fan of the Friday 5pm news dump strategy.
I would bet its a bunch of redacted nothing due to "ongoing investigation" of what 6 years or so

Yes it is. Those characterizations of what that specific line of accounting were for are widely misleading. I'm still receiving my BAH, and BAH is still projected to increase by 4% in 2026.

The point is, it wasn't some special "Warrior Bonus" like he called it. It was already on the books, not some special thing from tariffs that he initiated behind closed doors and rolled out on Wednesday.

Agreed it wasn't from the tariffs as Trump lied about, but this was not specifically appropriated in the BBB to be a holiday bonus for the military writ large

Again, you’re only making me think more of this. I thought it was a little hokey as a warrior bonus.

No you're right. They took the pre-appropriated funds and repackaged them, of course.

Thinking about why an increase to BAH is necessary if housing costs and affordability are supposedly going down?

Supposedly is an interesting word. I actually got some gas under 2 bucks in my rental car yesterday. The surging prices and damages from Biden are going to take time to heal. Prices aren’t going down everywhere though. The last President would rather talk oil with Maduro than Midland. Not this one. Cuba and Venezuela energy prices are going up now that we are choking dictators rather than appeasing them like the Biden regime did. I haven’t checked the cocaine market pricing, but I’d wonder what fixing the retarded border policy did there too.
