I highly doubt any of these conceited fool lefties at State got their salaries cut. State Dept is stuffed to the gills with AA hires, gays and lesbians. For some weird reason gays and lesbians love working at State and being stationed abroad if their “job” entails this. IIRC State was the first or one of the first Federal agencies to celebrate rainbow pride days, gay pride days and to have in house gay pride celebrations commemorations during the normal work week.
But I’m thinking they CAN have their salaries cut.....to fit their new job. If we cannot get rid of them, maybe the humiliation would be enough to make them quit. Or maybe, if their salaries are cut enough, they will leave for another job that pays better.
