[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like things are heading in the direction of 5.2 percent.

Fine with me if the GOP wants to waste its efforts on coverage of abortion and transgender care, which the Dems will never agree to anyway.[/quote]

Pretty sure the proposed raise was based upon the CPI-L so it's a sound data-driven approach to giving raises.[/quote]
The debt ceiling deal came after Biden’s proposed pay increase and includes essentially no increase to federal discretionary spending, so people were concerned that  the deal would preclude the pay increase from moving forward.  But that seems not to be the case for reasons I don’t understand.  My guess is the overall impact on federal spending isn’t that high assuming salaries are maybe 15-20% of discretionary spending.[/quote]

A 5.2 percent raise and a budget cut means program cuts, a hiring freeze, and maybe a rif. That seems like something republicans could get behind [/quote]

Yeah, as a fed in an office that's already stretched very thin, I'm pretty worried about this. I doubt we'll see an RIF but a hiring freeze seems possible. We might also have projects canceled, but I'm not even worried about that, managing more projects with fewer people than we have now is a losing game. [/quote]
