Geee Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 The Hill:GOP seizes on federal payBy Jared Allen - 08/26/10 06:00 AM ETFederal workers have become a new flashpoint in the fight between Republicans and Democrats on the economy.House GOP Leader John Boehner (Ohio) this week blamed Democratic policies for exacerbating a gap in the pay between public and private workers that he claims was rising even as the country suffers through a housing crisis and high unemployment.House and Senate Republicans already have offered legislation to freeze the salaries of the 2 million federal employees through amendments to economic stimulus bills being ushered through Congress by Democrats. Each effort has failed due to opposition from Democrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
