Old NFO – Why would they? The current administration is not exactly keen on the troops.

Ralph – From my understanding, a lot of there salaries are going to desk jockeys. Not like they are going to law enforcement, etc.

Becky – I am sure he deserves his salary.

Ingineer66 – Yeah, Arizona state workers are about to get IOUs. Nice, huh?

Fenway_Nation – You know who’s to blame for this? Karl Rove.

That is what happens when your employer has a printing press that prints money. Like many State and local government employees, we are working without a contract for over a year and did not get a raise this year and took 3 non-paid furlough days per month with no end in sight.

It must be because the “best and the brightest” are going to the federales. It is market based right? Surely this is not a total waste of taxpayer dollars?

Please, someone tell me everything is ok, it is merit based, objectively sanctioned and all the taxpayers are saying yea! yea!

I am sure the “pay czar” ok’d this and now I should feel good about it.

Oh, is there any way to speed up the election process, like next week for the entire congress and the white house. Surely, there has to be a way to rid us of parasites.

And those are NOT for DOD jobs either… DOD didn’t go under the new pay system.
