    We'll see. I don't think there's much to lose from Trump's perspective when 75% of government employees probably hate him either way. Trump's never had the support of government employees and they had made lots of effort to inform us. There are at least a dozen stories I recall about government employees airing their opinions on Trump and claiming he's attacking their funding/freedom. Trump's war on science is what they call it. LOL old news

    I don't think their numbers will amount to much considering the overwhelming number of them oppose trump anyway.

    Are you suggesting a majority of government employees support Trump? That's not likely and you know it. Trump has no political loss from this. All he loses is any potential support, which, in this case, is too small to worry about. Your own memes tell us it's redneck deplorables who voted for Trump. Now you want to include government employees in that list. LOL perfect!

    Good. Statism is a sham anyways. The last thing your bureaucracy needs is pay raise.

    I don't know why some people actually think their Job dictates their politics.

    These are millions of middle class working Americans.

    Of course the GOP right wingers don't give a crap about them. It's always been that way

    Republicans have never supported giving government employees big raises. This action isn't surprising
