Did anyone see the report yesterday about the raise to Federal Employees of 2.9%. In an time when private sector employees are taking paycuts, furloughs, and being laid off; The federal governent is hiring employees and giving current employees a higher pay raise that originally budgeted.

The justification: this is to keep key personnel in place in such a critical time to keep the federal government operating efficiently. Isn't this the same argument that was blasted by the government over the retention bonuses for AIG employees. Maybe they should release the names of all of the federal employees receiving a raise this year, like they threatened for AIG employees? Maybe they should tax that increase at 100%?

Or maybe they should just stop spending money irresponsibly?
