Remember that pay freeze Congress passed?...The
last extension was in September for six months...

The White House said at the time that the pay freeze would save $2 billion for the remainder of fiscal year 2011, $28 billion over the next five years, and more than $60 billion over the next 10 years.

Over ten years?...Funny...
I only count "two" years...
Time for the wealth re-distributor to do his part...
Obama Orders Raise for Biden, Members of Congress, Federal Workers
Quote:
According to disclosure forms, Biden made a cool $225,521 last year. After the pay increase, he'll now make $231,900 per year.
Members of Congress, from the House and Senate, also will receive a little bump, as their annual salary will go from $174,000 to 174,900. Leadership in Congress, including the speaker of the House, will likewise get an increase.
Here's the list of new wages, as attached to President Obama's executive order:
"A new executive order has been issued providing for a new pay schedule beginning 'on the first day of the first applicable pay period beginning after March 27, 2013,'" reports FedSmith.com. "The pay raise will generally be about 1/2 of 1%."

So when the White House said it would save $28 billion over the next five years, and more than $60 billion over the next 10 years, they forgot to add "but we're not going to do it"...

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.
