That one is used up.
Now, look at it this way ~ cut federal pay.
Make you happy?
So, what's the government going to do with the money, and mind you we are talking about an Obama government, so what will they do?
You got three choices ~ (1) Pay for something meaningful, (2) Pay for something less meaningful, (3) Line the pockets of their cronies?
You don't need to answer ~ we all know the correct answer. So come up with something useful that maneuvers Obama and his running dog lackeys. Your permanent Civil Service folks have no way of doing that. Most of them work for Department of Defense figuring out ways to defend your home against Iranian missiles, or in the Post Office making sure you get your advertisements that make the economy run.
They certainly have nothing to do with pushing Obama around.
Try this one ~ call Boehner and tell him that you support the full implementation of the Ryan budget NO MATTER WHAT HAIRY REED and his idiots think they are up to. Ignore the Senate. Make the Democrats shut it all down unless they agree to go along with the budget.
“Federal pay has been frozen since Obama came to office.”
And, IIRC, promotions are at a by-far all time high.
UH, no quite. Annual pay raises have been frozen but not “step” pay increases or COLA increases. Most Federal jobs award raises annually for each year of service by the employee (called “step” increases) + cost of living increases.
To freeze pay means just that - FREEZE pay!
