Also Republicans: Federal employees shouldn't get any increase in pay because there is no inflation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]
Republicans don’t appear to be fighting the pay increase.

They’re focused on reducing telework (not unreasonable) and eliminating coverage of employee abortions and transgender surgeries (lol).[/quote]
None of the federal insurance plans cover abortions. What are you blathering about? [/quote]
Just quoting the article which you didn’t bother to read:

“The bill also targets telework, options in the TSP’s mutual fund window, and FEHB coverage for abortions and gender-affirming care for transgender individuals.”[/quote]
Please point out which Federal insurance plan currently covers voluntary abortions. I’ll wait.[/quote]
I was just summarizing the article, I have no idea why you're getting so riled up over abortion.  It doesn't matter to me what the federal plans cover.  The fact is the GOP seems to be focusing on denying abortion coverage (whatever impact that may or may not have) rather than denying a pay raise, which is probably a good thing for federal workers, since this will go nowhere in the Senate.

The House appropriations bill discussed in the article contains the following provisions:

"SEC. 613. No funds appropriated by this Act shall be available to pay for an abortion, or the administrative expenses in connection with any health plan under the Federal employees health benefits program which provides any benefits or coverage for abortions.

SEC. 614. The provision of section 613 shall not apply where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term, or the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest."

You were parroting misinformation.[/quote]
How is summarizing a legislative proposal misinformation?[/quote]
Because federal plans don’t cover elective abortions.[/quote]
No one said they do!  The GOP’s proposal contains a statutory prohibition on such coverage, now and in the future.[/quote]
Breaking news: GOP makes an idiotic proposal![/quote]

Remember when Obama gave us nothing and then nothing again and when he had large segments of government furloughed without pay (and no we didn’t get it back from the sequester like from a lapsed appropriation).

Stop assuming one party will help you over another.[/quote]
What government workers didn’t get paid after the shutdown?[/quote]

Everyone affected by the sequester. Not the appropriations lapse that happened the same year, but the sequestration itself. My husband and I (both DoD) lost 20% of our pay for however many weeks. I want to say it ended up being 5 but was was supposed to be much longer. Those of you that weren’t affected don’t remember or even recognize it as reality but trust me….we were not refunded the loss.

And yeah, it was them, but also it was him.

You did not lose five weeks of pay. I too work for a DoD agency, and sequestration was for one pay period, or two weeks. There is no need to exaggerate, as it was a trying time for many people in the country. My office lost six or seven attorneys during that time. Three of them retired fearing their retirement numbers would be impacted. The other four attorneys transitioned back into private service with a big F-U to federal service. [/quote]

I did not say I lost 5 weeks of pay. I said I lost 20% of my pay over 5 weeks. It was 6 weeks, actually, and the proof is in the link I sent you. You may have not been furloughed the same number of weeks but don’t call BS on something that I’ve already proven. Also it was me and my husband so we both lost 6 working days of pay.[/quote]
