Nope. Just off the top of my head. You have nothing constructive to contribute it seems. |
Now now. Without me, you would still think the “House has to approve” federal raises. You should be thanking me. |
Sure, the guys who spent last week in a circular firing squad for the simple task of electing a leader are going to present a unified front in negotiations with the senate and administration. And McCarthy, whose primary negotiating tactic is to give his opponents absolutely everything they want, will suddenly become an effective negotiator. |
Wrong again. It’s reading comprehension. The House and the Senate both have to approve legislation. So yes, indeed, the House “along with the Senate” has to approve it. |
Civilian federal pay raises are the easiest cut for the parties to compromise on. Obama did it for years |
I miss the voting. It was so enjoyable watching McCarthy getting more and more humiliated with every vote. I was hoping it would go on for six weeks. |
Other than being petty and vindictive, that cut doesn't even ripple the waters as far as "cuts" go. |
Yes! |
Look at the annual raises under Obama. |
So what? It'd didn't make ripples then, either. Feds are often political pawns but their salaries are not breaking the budget. It's the entitlement program and the military that suck up the biggest pieces of the pie. The rest is de minimus, relatively speaking. |
Let's not forget interest on the debt. It's going to eat everything. |
