Here's another one: the pay of Federal employees shall be indexed to the average pay in the private sector. Since Federal pay is about 50% higher today, we'll start with a Federal salary freeze of indefinite length.
Amen to that! I’m OK with a premium paid for outstanding contribution or highly specialized skills. Short of that, don’t believe there’s anything about working for Uncle Sam that demands higher pay, a pension, and for many a union to back them up.
