Biden Gives Fed Workers a Pay Raise

[Samofvt]

Amazing. Here in my state, 35% of families are having trouble finding an affordable place to live at all. Why not cough up some more in taxes to support the federal hierarchy? Makes perfect sense

Federal employees aren't rich. They're well educated working and middle class people and here you are denigrating and slamming American workers

Wow. You’ve never described me with such kind words before.

Shit. They are already over paid and most of them aren't worth a tinkers damn.

Go back to Canada and inflict yourself on them. Most Fed workers are over paid and aren't worth a tinker damn. They live in a bubble. They never get fired or laid off. Hell most of them didn't even know we were having trouble during Barry's first term.

Canada deserves your stupid ass.

Wow, an extra twenty right bucks a week for someone making $50K a year...

A clerk filing papers and getting coffee earns an average $43,000 a year in the IRS.
Show me an equivalent in the private sector.

 

[Weatherman2020]

If they make $50k a year and live in DC they're homeless.

Show me a job in the Fed government they can’t get filled.

The vast majority of Federal workers are middle class… and here we have Republicans whining about a 2.7% raise

Jesus

You're living in the past. Trump was the pro worker President. Democrats are anti worker today.

Really. Can you point to the pro-worker, pro-union policies and legislation of the Trump Administration? I cannot recall a single thing that Donald Trump did for working Americans. 40% of Americans - those at the low end of the wage and income spectrum reported seeing NO benefit from the Trump economy, and reported being worse off.

50 reasons the Trump administration is bad for workers: President Trump has said he would ‘protect’ and ‘fight for’ workers. Instead, his administration has systematically done the opposite.

This report provides a review of the Trump administration’s 50 most egregious attacks on working people since Trump took office. The Trump administration’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic marks the administration’s most glaring failure of leadership. But long before that—since Trump’s first...

No, seriously, go home to Canada.

Non-government workers are getting pay cuts, if not directly, then due to inflation. No raises for the working class. It's very difficult to swallow that the self chosen fed employees can gift themselves a pay raise at will. A study here in Vermont showed that this is not a localized event: This disparity in pay has been going on for well over a decade here. Bottom line is that State and Federal workers saw a net increase in income, while non-government barely broke even (accounting for published inflation rates).

John Klar: Vermont’s tick-belly bureaucracy gorges during COVID

Montpelier has ignored native Vermonters and businesses, who continue to suffer economically from state policies and tax burdens even as the bureaucratic tumor feasts rabidly on federal COVID funds…

Are non-government workers not worthy of equality? Are they now really and truly "the little people", beneath their government employed counterparts?

The national debt ceiling has to be raised to new astounding highs ever few months, due in large part to the Big Government spending to support Big Government benefit programs. Then, when push comes to shove, and they need more bodies to fill the war machine they prey upon those same bottom 35% for the infantry and close combat positions: either starve your family or sign up. Your "choice".

State and Federal government show no sign of slowing their spending habits (at least in my blue state), despite having no clear plan on how to pay for it all, or even to reach some sort of equilibrium with sanity. All despite dire warning signs in the economy. Heck, they can't even fix our roads here with any degree of reliability. But they do have plenty of funding for all the little pet projects they've got going on.

This is unsustainable. It's no wonder Antifa has gained so much traction over the last several years: the bottom third of our population don't even remember how great things can be under free market enterprise. They think total socialism is the only answer.

How much do you think it costs to live where the IRS works?

I'm not so sure about that. A GS-8 Step 2 makes $43Ka year. That's a Geneva Convention category III, which is a company grade officer...
