Always good to hear I’ve “lost my mind” especially on something I have not heard about… Hope it doesn’t include the military; we can’t pay those folks enough.
No, in the OP, it's clearly stated that it doesn't include the military.
What the OP didn't say is how much it will save taxpayers. I heard on the Michael Medved show it would save us 38 billion dollars. That's a lot of hotdogs.
The Dems cry about the raises, but ignore the fact this is something many Americans face every year in the private sector. If a company is in the hole, they don't give out raises. WTF should our government not stick to those standards as well? It's not like we have a surplus in our budget or something.
Why not include the military? They are fed employees.
Because then the would give leftist losers ammo to attack Trump.
No. It’s just hypocrisy and the right wings never ending war against the working man.
You going to vilify fed employees , then have at it. Don’t pick n choose and have arbitrary waivers .
So why do you feel that if raises are not handed out, it should be even?
Military pay is not all that great, so it would be fitting that they continue to get pay increases. They are dedicating the best years of their life to this country, and it should come with some kind of reward.
That's not the case with all other federal employees. They get to go home at the end of the day, sleep in their own private bed in their own private bedroom. They know where they are going to be living the next week unlike many in the military.
We haven’t had a draft in 40 + years . Everyone in the military chose to join . Moving around is part of the job, and also with lots of fed jobs .
And don’t act like people join the military for altruistic reasons . There are many benefits to be had .
