Service members will receive a slightly smaller average housing allowance next year than they received a year ago.
Overall, the Pentagon will spend about $17.4 billion on the Basic Allowance for Housing in 2009, about $100 million less than in 2008.
The average 6.9 percent increase represents a 0.4 percent decline from the 2008 nationwide average. The number of locations where rates went up actually expanded, but the increases generally were not as large as in 2007, said Susan Brumbaugh, director of the Pentagon’s BAH program.
The new rates, which take effect Jan. 1, were announced Monday.

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
