I don’t see a problem with this proposal, but first we eliminate Taxpayer Funded Health Care for non military Federal Employee’s and let them finally enjoy the Benefits of the Finest Health Care program on the Planet, Obamacare. Require ALL Non Military Federal Employee’s to enroll so they can get the care they deserve.
I agree with your proposal. Giving a raise on one hand is fine as long as some program or funding plan of equal or greater value is terminated permanently. I suggest that the Civil Service terminate a number of dead-wood employees. The number should exceed by at least 10% the number of new IRS agents scheduled to start sucking at the taxpayer’s teat.
