Those same Federal employees that make their salary off of our taxes, are more than welcome to go get jobs in the private sector. In the private sector, performance merits raises in pay more than things like "achieving another year of seniority".
So, you don't see any issue with outright lying to the American people. Gotcha. Argue about COLA all you want, but the most blatant thing about this is the "greatest economy ever" requires salary cuts for federal employees because of the economy. So either he's lying about the economy, or lying about the reason for the cuts. Though of course it could be both and the economy isn't as great as he claims and the tax cuts are causing a significant rise in deficits.

But seriously, what a d-bag. But that was a known known.
Pfft. We only see pay adjustments during important election years.
