Trump Cancels Planned Pay-Raises for Civilian Federal Layabouts
This man is such a non-conservative I just can't even!
President Trump announced Thursday that he was canceling a pay raise due to most civilian federal employees in January, citing budgetary reasons.
In a letter to congressional leaders, the president wrote that locality pay increases would cost $25 billion. Those increases would come on top of a 2.1 percent across-the-board increase for most civilian employees.
"We must maintain efforts to put our Nation on a fiscally sustainable course, and Federal agency budgets cannot sustain such increases," Trump wrote before announcing that for 2019, "both across-the-board pay increases and locality pay increases will be set at zero."
I wish we could have our go-along-to-get-along liberal "Republican" thought-leaders back. They never did a damn thing to advance the ball, but they sure were polite while not doing anything.
