Obama Asks Federal Workers to Sacrifice: "Citing the current economic recession -- and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks eight years ago -- President Obama says he will use emergency powers to cut the programmed across-the-board January increase in federal employees' pay from 2.4 percent to 2.0 percent, according to a letter he sent to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Monday."
It's not about Obama. It's never about Obama.
Via Instapundit, who has his own opinion on the "cuts."
Wow. Couldn't even suspend the income increase for Federal employees, never mind that the Social Security COLA was cancelled for this year. Cla-ssy.
