I don't know whose idea it is. I think it's a damn good idea. Way to go. Freeze the shit out of it. They made too much more than the private sector to begin with.

The two-year pay freeze for civilian federal employees will save $2 billion during the rest of the current fiscal year and almost $30 billion over the next five years, the White House said Monday.
First Read - Obama to announce pay freeze for federal workers
What was the GOP plan to cut costs again? Oh that's right, they don't have one....
Did you read the story or just the headline?
from YOUR link;
A pay freeze for the federal workforce was one of the proposals named by House Republicans in their "Pledge to America" released before the midterm elections. The authors of that document suggested imposing a "net hiring freeze on non-security federal employees" that would "ensure that the public sector no longer grows at the expense of the private sector."
In other words, you fucking idiot, Obama is doing what Republicans tell him too.
Muhaha muther fucker.

All I can say is WTF!?!? I've been working as a State employee for the last 6 years now and for the last 3 yrs. we've been on a pay freeze... Damn, I knew I should have held out for that Federal position...
TSA is hiring, good pension plan and approval to unionize. The new American dream.

Nice post, only a coward calls someone a mother fucker from the safety of their keyboard. Early in my career I was called that an worse from the cage in the back seat of a patrol car -from 'citizens' just like you.
So, WHAT is the GOP plan, again?
Your not joking? You really did not read your own link?

The chairmen of Obama's bipartisan deficit commission proposed a three-year freeze in pay for most federal employees as part of its plan to reduce the nation's growing deficit. The commission's final report is due to be released later this week.

In the story it clearly states that it was a GOP ploy.
I was hoping for cuts, praying for cuts. But I'll take a freeze, it beats nothing, which is what the dnc plan was, cut nothing and spend more.
So it looks like someone got through to obama and they look at the rnc contract with America and started doing what they planned on doing. This way they can claim it was thier idea, even though they have no intention of actually cutting spending.
Look at the spin in both directions from the extreme-right of this site. Some of them say this freeze does nothing. Other say this freeze is just copying a republican idea. Polar opposite thoughts, yet neither one is applauding this as a good thing.....why, because it was enacted by Obama. Pitiful

So. how long before we start seeing some legislation from the GOP on spending cuts? Their Contract on America was nothing more than talking points and every honoest poster would agree with that assessment. The voters gave control of the House back to the GOP. Where is the legislation? Where are the spending cuts?

Pelosi and the "Dims" are still in charge until January.
(for anyone else I might assume they knew that)
Hope the GOP starts slicing and dicing in the Fed employee ranks.
Hell. They could get rid of half the Fed employees and who the hell would notice they were gone??
