He's only about 3 years behind the private sector. First a pay freeze, next a reduction??
My overall compensation (salary & bonus) went down and still is not where it was 3 years ago. I am in the private sector. It is way past time for this sort of proposal. Obama is just getting out in front of what the GOP is going to propose next year.

I can't believe Obama is trying to cut his throat via the public workers unions.
Should be interesting to see people who are already overpaid put up a fuss.
And whom might that be?
He is playing politics, knowing that when the republicans take control in a few weeks, then the vote to freeze will be in there court. He is gonna let the republicans **** off the people affected by the freeze, this way he can say he didn't want to do it later, and its all the republicans fault down the road.
Sure he could have said that before the elections, but he was probably told to hold it back till after the elections.

You have to be kidding me!
I am on my third year without a raise, so I see this as "it's about time." Funding a federal employees raise can only happen by collecting more taxes or going futher into debt, and neither is acceptable. This doesn't even take into account the increase in the federal EE pool. The federal gov't would never make cuts anything near the blood-bath that has taken place in my place of employment in the past three years.
I listened to the announcement and can't tell you how disgusted I am about the two-face content of the message. A bunch of rhetoric about putting the Democrat and Republican "contest" asside, not worrying about the next election and doing the right thing for the American people. What a crock of
from the man who feeds the partisan fire daily, made this announcement after the November election (calculated) and has executed unpresidented spending and implemntation of a huge entitlement program.
Many still sit there and drink the cool-aid. WTF?!

How do you figure this? Is that what you are hearing or know for a fact?
The reason I ask.. is because someone in my very household works for the State of Indiana.. and they just received a pay raise about 6 months ago... so this can't be possibly true.. I don't care whom you are hearing this from.
And come this Spring.. they are due for another raise.. so how is this possible?

The raises through 2007 were set in January each year. In each of 2008, 2009 and 2010 the governor issued an order that all executive department (meaning working for the governor) employees have their pay frozen with no pay increase. Who does he work for and how are they "due" for a raise? Daniels also suggested that those employees working for state and local governments not under his executive control, also have their pay frozen. It's true, I don't care whom you're hearing this differently from.

Does this include elected officials?
It should START with them. Their salaries plus all of the benefits. They should lead my example. Let them eat cake. I would like to see a list of the perks and benefits that these idoits get. I bet they have someone to wipe their own butts.
