Hoyer Weighs In For Pay Parity
So says the Majority Leader:
“President Obama’s budget is a serious, honest document that truthfully lays out the fiscal challenges we face and the tough choices necessary to meet our Nation’s priorities and restore the economy. While it’s to be expected that during this time of shared sacrifice there will not likely be a federal employee adjustment equal to last year’s level, we must continue to adhere to the long-standing bipartisan principle of pay parity. This is just the beginning of the process, and I intend to work with President Obama to ensure a fair and equal adjustment for both our military and civilian personnel who work side-by-side to protect our Nation and keep our government running.”

I thought Bush left office.
Lumberjoe Posted Friday, February 27, 2009 9:23 AMHey Dumberjoe, this is the CHANGE you voted for. Analysis shows Bush gave much more generous pay raises than Clinton over the compared 8 years. As per usual, Democrats get the union suckers to vote for them. Of course, that's not too hard to do. HOPE your happy.
Barack O. Posted Friday, February 27, 2009 10:29 AMStenny should seek real parity with the private sector if that was to happen Cs would take a 25% pay cut. Now that would be real good news to the taxpayers
dan ketter Posted Friday, February 27, 2009 11:37 AMDan Ketter do you work for a living? Or are you retired and have nothing better to do with your time? I'm amazed at how almost everyday you have something to comment upon and rarely anything positive.
Keep in mind it was the private sector that is responsible for this train wreck.
Fed worker bee Posted Friday, February 27, 2009 3:04 PMI feel sorry if anyone has to work with Dan Ketter. What a depressing individual, I have never seen one positive post from him. Obviously he must be divorced.
Another worker bee Posted Saturday, February 28, 2009 7:08 AMI work in DoD. At a time when the deficit exceeds $1,000,000,000,000 (a trillion dollars, or a 1 followed by more zeros than you can count on your fingers), there should not be a general pay raise at all this year for either military and civilian workers. We should recognize the sacrifices of our military who are in harms way by dramatically increasing combat pay. In other words, give them more for being in harms way, not simply for being in the military.
