quote:

President Trump sent a letter to Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Thursday announcing his intention to cut pay raises for civilian government workers.

In the letter, Trump cited his authority in times of “national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare” to make adjustments to the 2018 pay schedule for federal employees.

Under the previous plan, workers were scheduled for a 1.9 percent bump. Trump will use his authority to lower that to 1.4 percent.

“We must maintain efforts to put our Nation on a sustainable fiscal course,” Trump wrote.

“A pay increase of this magnitude is not warranted, and Federal agency budgets could not accommodate such an increase while still maintaining support for key Federal priorities such as those that advance the safety and security of the American people.”

99% of those Cucks didn't vote for him anyways. Now they will have less to donate to the Dems.

The military will really appreciate that with North Korea and all that going on.

Don't forget that all soldiers and sailors are government workers.

Link did not open for me, in case the information is different.

Why is this such a big deal?

He is cutting their pay INCREASE from 1.9% to 1.4%....let's put this in layman's terms...

FBI agent makes $60k He is scheduled for a 1.9% increase in pay ($1,140 more a year). Basically, $95 more a month. For you hourly employees, $47 every two weeks.

Trump has cut this down by .5%...instead of getting 47 dollars more every two weeks, they'll get 36 dollars more.

Wtf are we celebrating again that most governement employees won't even care about?

I don’t like people suffering financially but good, the private sector felt the brunt of the recession. Layoffs, pay cuts, no raises.

I hope the SEIU has a strike.

Then everyone will see that nothing much changes when they aren't at work.
