Rescind Obama's executive order to lift a ban on pay freezes for federal employees. Congress & President Obama, you need do your job first and balance this budget mess before you get a raise!
Obama signed an executive order last week that will lift a ban on pay freezes for federal employees.
Congress would all see a $900 bump next year -- up from $174,000. Congressional leaders will receive a slightly higher raise, with the House speaker receiving a $1,100 salary increase to $224,600. The top two Senate leaders will see pay rise $1,000, to $194,400.
Vice President Biden will see his pay increase from $225,521 last year to $231,900 after his raise goes into effect March 27, 2013.
It's shameful you would even consider it during this fiscal crisis and the sequestioned.
