Biden Approves pay raise for Federal Employees

Biden Approves Largest Pay Raise for Federal Employees Since Carter Administration

As you read this, you are probably wondering when the economic pain of the Biden administration will end.

If you are like most of us, your wages are being outpaced by inflation and your bank account has yet to stop moving backward since Biden took office.

Well, get ready for that pain to hurt a little more because Biden has decided to give federal workers a big, fat pay raise, the biggest they have received in decades. AND GUESS WHAT--You, the taxpayer is paying for it.

“Executing on the President’s 5.2 percent pay increase for both military and civilian workers recognizes the Federal workforce’s dedication and service to the American people and positions the Federal Government to better compete in the labor market to attract and retain a well-qualified workforce.”

Just to put this into perspective, the average federal worker has a salary of $98,943, while the average private industry worker has a salary of about $58,000, and our taxes pay their salaries.

It seems so unfair! We never get a 5.2% pay raise, never!

Why doesn't Congress do this why does the president have the right to increase the pay so much? It just doesn't seem right it seems like Congress should be controlling the purse and all of this now this is just more debt added to our mounting 34 trillion dollars of debt we have in this country and there's so much waste in government and most of these government employees they go to work and they bring a book and they just read during the whole time they're at work they don't even do any work at all I know a family member told me who worked in the government that most people who work for the government don't do anything at all. So much waste!
