Democrats Push To Give Federal Workers Massive Pay Raise Because Of Trump: Reports | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Democrats are pushing a plan to give federal workers a massive pay raise because they claim that former President Donald Trump was "cruel" and because the coronavirus pandemic was hard.

    The proposed 8.7% raise for nearly 2 million federal workers would happen next year and would come after President Joe Biden already gave them a 4.6% raise this year.

    "For years now, federal employees have risked their health and safety working on the frontlines of this pandemic," said Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA).

    "They were subjected to the Trump Administration's cruel personal attacks, unsafe work environments, pay freezes, government shutdowns, sequestration cuts, furloughs, and mindless across-the-board hiring freezes," Connolly said. "Still, our federal workforce serves with dedication and distinction every day. Federal employees are our government's single greatest asset, and they deserve better."

    Connolly will attempt to get federal workers the big bump in pay by introducing the Federal Adjustment of Income Rates Act with Hawaiian Senator Brian Schatz (D).

    Schatz said, "Whether inspecting our food, conducting medical research, or caring for our veterans, federal workers play an important role in our everyday lives and deserve pay which reflects that."

    Randy Erwin, president of the National Federation of Federal Employees, claimed that the raise was the least that could be done.

    "The 8.7% increase listed in the FAIR Act is not a pay raise," Erwin said. "It is the minimum increase needed to offset the dwindling checking accounts of public servants, and it is critical to recruiting and retaining the best possible workforce."

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?

  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.

  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.

  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.

  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.

Considering what has happened to our Representative Republic since the corruptive orthodoxy that led to the tolerated abomination - The Russia Hoax - where felonies were perpetrated upon the American People by the creation of the Two Tiered Justice System, in the misnomer of "Social Justice:" Where do you stand on sustaining our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms in a society where injustice is chronically sanctioned by one political orthodoxy?

  I believe in a perfected society by employing a higher governmental authority to train the behavior of the public.

  The United States Constitution does not allow just a few freedoms, it guarantees ALL freedoms promised to Humankind by God.

  Just don't take away my Social Media.
