GOP seizes on federal pay
By Jared Allen - 08/26/10 06:00 AM ET

Federal 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.snip
