I will NOT be getting a pay raise this year...
2% raise? They should be getting a 20% cut.
Entire federal departments should be closed. HHS, Education, and EPA — just for starters.
bingo, most i know including myself have had pay cuts...mine was 25%....as soon as savings is gone making up the loss on bills each month we are screwed....
Why ANY raise at all?
CUT and LAYOFF you idiot
I will NOT be getting a pay raise this year...
Keep in mind that government workers have a very low wage except for the big wigs. A typical secretary makes about 28,000. I am more than sure that you make triple that. Most in the private industry make tons more than the government workers. I AM NOT A GOVERNMENT WORKER just for information.
How about a 10% across the board pay CUT for ALL federal employees??? And that would include the elected and appointed TURKEYS!!!!!
I always say, “If you can get more money elsewhere, GO”
Money for nothing.
And your chicks for free.
But all you AARP members, you are getting squat increase this year.
That sure is big of him. I get no raise this year as my company did not make its goals.
Did the federal goivernement make its goals this year?
I would say increasing debt would suggest otherwise.
Why do they get raises and not the rest of us?
You could more in the private industry? Really? Do you mean now or circa 2005? Because I’d LOVE to make $28,000 as a secretary right now. Do you know where they are hiring for these fabulous private sector jobs?
I just sent this to all my military friends who voted for Obama.
How about pay CUTS for Congress and the White House.
Thank you, I agree.
I guess that Hopey-Changey thing isn't working out as planned, eh government-hacks?

“Keep in mind that government workers have a very low wage except for the big wigs.”
Keep in mind that they retire early with enormous benefits and huge percentages of their salaries intact and can double dip...which I CAN NOT do. I know a lot of them who are ready to “retire” from their “jobs” (most of which are less difficult than any private sector job in the country) with 80%+ of their pay and full benefits...so save the violin music, professor...
Love your tag line!
