Excuse me, but which fiscal situation are we talking about, the one in which we've had all this increased economic growth and all the other great things resulting from those tax cuts, or the one in which federal workers join the many, many others whose wages have stagnated.

Could it be the fiscal situation where we have $22,000,000,000,000 in federal debt?

Which apparently became a problem sometime between the time that Trump and his buddies got huuuuuuge tax cuts and the time it came to give rank-and-file federal workers a pay increase.

I think he's restricted to federal workers. He is the CEO of the federal government after all. (He really is. It's only in your echo chamber that he's not.)
God forbid that federal workers get raises based on their performance!!!!!!!!

trump and his buddies!

You're not stupid. You just say things that indicate that deep down you're an ignoramous.

At a minimum they should get cost-of-living increases to keep up with inflation. Otherwise they're being asked to do the same work for less earning power.

But juxtaposing this announcement with the tax cut for billionaires and real estate moguls is going to make one hell of a campaign ad. --Bob

I'll settle for going back to the way things were. Because my taxes are going up a lot to fund that tax break for billionaires. --Bob
