Just for my own info, what do military personnel get paid to start out?
The organizers are in full swing. I think we’re going to see the hottest summer since the late 60s.
Did they protest on April 15 because they want to be in a higher wage bracket so they can pay more taxes and receive less welfare benefits? And pay higher prices for everything because businesses have higher labor costs? What patriots!
The federal wage scale is tiered based on position, years of service and type of work they do.

My point is, if you give the lowest guy on the totem pole 15 bucks an hour the whole pay scale will have to be adjusted accordingly so all get a similar portion of the loot.
For example, if a FWS grade one appropriated fund dude goes from $10.09 per hour up to $15, then the guy who’s put in several years time to get to grade 5 @ $15.49 will feel screwed. If all pay scales are adjusted accordingly, the payroll could increase by 50%.
But don’t worry, obama has a plan for that. Give them the increases, then use it to justify allowing illegals to work for the fed gov and get rid of those that are already there.
Problem solved.
Go away, Cheryl! We don’t need any more reds making noise about wages. We’ve got enough in Congress doing that.
