Democrats want 8.7% pay hike for federal workers who were 'subjected to' Trump
More posturing — there will be lots more of that this term. What a comfort that the Republicans control the House when this kind of nonsense is suggested.
[NYPOST] ​Democrats are proposing giving federal workers an 8.7% pay increase for toiling through the Trump administration and the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
pandemic.

The suggested pay increase for the 2 million federal workers would take effect in 2024, and would come after they received the 4.6% raise this year from President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant. Just look at the competent way he dumped Afghanistan......
"For years now, federal employees have risked their health and safety working on the frontlines of this pandemic," Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) said in a blurb announcing that he and ​Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) would reintroduce the Federal Adjustment of Income Rates​, or FAIR Act.

"They were subjected to the Trump Administration’s cruel personal attacks, unsafe work environments, pay freezes, government shutdowns, sequestration cuts, furloughs, and mindless across-the-board hiring freezes​," Connolly said in the statement released last week.

"​Still, our federal workforce serves with dedication and distinction every day. Federal employees are our government’s single greatest asset, and they deserve better​," he said.

#2 With the reparations genie out of the bottle, it's soon going to be full blown looting of the Treasury in the name of equity.

#4 Fine, but let's also raise the tax on all government employees (Non-military) to 99% of all yearly earnings, along with a 99% tax rate on all savings, 401k, pension plans and health benefits. So basically, if you work for the government and have money, then you need to be taxed more.

Democrats have been looting the Treasury for decades to feather their nests, buy friends/votes, and harm those actually make the country prosperous and pay the bills. The rate of theft and brazenness has grown geometrically with the Magic Kenyan,1.0, 2.0 and the current 3.0 versions!

#8 Contract out (competitive bids) most government functions. Since federal employees cost nearly 2X their civilian counterparts while having low productivity, a lot of taxpayer money would be saved and services improved.
