[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welp, guessing the 2024 raise for fed employees will be … zero.[/quote]

Guessing you don’t know how federal raises are determined.[/quote]

Guessing I do.  Guessing I know that the House has to approve them, along with the Senate.  No way Republicans will sign off on any raise for civilians.[/quote]

Thanks for confirming you don’t know how it works.  [/quote]

Assuming arguendo Biden sets a raise amount, GOP House appropriators still must weigh in.  They can say nothing or make modifications, up or down. But they will come back with $0 for raises.  The Senate will go along with that as part of negotiations over other things, as will Biden ultimately.  It’s not just up to the president.[/quote]

If they want to have any credibility they should first vote themselves $0 raises, or better yet, a pay cut.[/quote]

I don’t think “credibility” is of concern.  
No, federal employees are about to get skewered every which way for at least the next two years.  It’s a constituency for which very few Americans have any sympathy.  Feds are considered “deep state” and most believe they are too highly compensated.  The 118th congress will go after feds with a vengeance. [/quote]
