"President Obama on Monday announced a two-year pay freeze for civilian federal workers"
and the 3rd year he offered a robust 0.5% (ooooohhhh), pay raise (after initially freezing it) and, you are correct, that was blocked by the house.
first 2 years, all on Obama. |

but liberals always say the best way to grow the economy, is to increase pay for workers. so why did the democrats, who controlled everything for the first two obama years, choose not to help the economy by raising wages for federal workers.
and first you told TDF thatbit
never happened, then when he proved it, you claimed it was correct economic policy to freeze. you’re all over the place here.

No he said Obama’s did it those years which isn’t true. Situations are quite different but I know you don’t really get the details.
