President Biden informed Congress on Thursday of his intention to raise federal civilian workers’ pay by an average of 5.2 percent, taking a required step to advance the proposal outlined in his 2024 budget request earlier this year.

In letters addressed to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Vice President Harris in her capacity as president of the Senate, Biden outlined his alternative pay plan for an across-the-board pay increase of 4.7 percent and locality pay increases averaging 0.5 percent, for an overall average increase of 5.2 percent.

Fire 75% of them and make them get real jobs.

The pedo boy is coming through with his election promises no matter how much comes out the wallets of American workers.

Pay raise for administrative state should be exactly the Fed target eg 2%

"What's that Mr bureaucrat? Inflation is higher than 2%? I guess the Fed f**ked up and f**ked you too"

(Otherwise, perversely, there is incentive to make policies that raise inflation)

You will have to get the government liability reducing jabs in order to have job / collect pension.

Government employees probably vote rat around the 90% range, l guess this is to get the remaining 10%.

The communist pedo is trying to buy more votes.

I vehemently oppose this!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Exactly. The President doesn't. But this is not the President. This is an enemy occupier.

Does the raise also include funds for voice trainers to ensure the Dim pols can laugh whole heartedly as their constituents are being evicted from their homes?

[newzjunkey]

Must be nice. 2% is what I might see in about a year. It’s ridiculous.

Got to keep the apparatchiks fat and well paid...

[Sequoyah101]

Paid for and on the backs and out of the pockets of people who are falling further and further behind every day.

Fools. Reprehensible communists.

There is only the executive branch now. No need for the other two. The constitution is dead.

[everlast]

Kevin and the house Republicans need to open up another investigation about this.

[SaveFerris]

How about at least 5.2% increase for our Social Security, Joe?

It ought to be higher than that.

How about American taxpayer money for American taxpayers?

govt employees should make no more than the median salary of the districts they serve

this would also encourage govt types to improve the fortunes of the constituents while ensuring they’re not the ‘elite’

[Brooklyn Attitude]

“Sure! Give the feds a 5% raise! After a 50% cut in the number of federal employees for the next 20 years.”

Why wait 20 years. Replace them with illegal aliens, now.

Public service salaries should be tied to a factor of private industry wages vs inflation. The more people in the private sector fall behind due to inflation, the lower the salaries of government workers and politicians.
