After Trump lied that people in the military were getting better than a 10% raise, he decreed via an executive order that he is freezing federal workers' pay in 2019. That erases a 2.1% raise that was set to go in place in January. Trump's claim is that the pay increase was "inappropriate: "We must maintain efforts to put our Nation on a fiscally sustainable course, and Federal agency budgets cannot sustain such increases," cried Trump.
So much winning.
Military pay is via DOD budget, different pot of money than federal worker pay. Our increase is 2.6%.
Connect the dots...most federal workers are dems according to Trump...so I’ll freeze their pay increase.
