I thought he said we had a very healthy economy? So, we can't even give cost of living raises?

Supposedly the economy is "healthy" but it will take longer than I'm going to be alive to recover fr deficit we have. Also, this is not the 1st time Fed govt workers were denied COLA. Know fr 1st hand experience. Sucks but is life. Private sector doesn't give raises like that.
-
Over the last 30 years the only time fed workers didn’t get a COLA was in the Great Recession recovery. The economy is on the tail end of a sugar high from tax cuts for rich & corps. The deficit & debts have soared in this “boom economy” and a crash is inevitable.

Well not exactly correct, as a Recent Fed retiree there were a no of yrs w no cola increase & often only 1% some years and not much more in other yrs. I’m not surprised by tRump freeze’ 2018 COLA, his redundant lies to the Feds & troops are getn’ old!. https://www.federalpay.org/gs/raises

It is exactly correct. Except for the 3 years during the recession, you have to go back to 1986 to find no raise.
-
Yep. Was in Fed service from 1990-2015. Missed the 1986 one but got the others.

I'm a Dem. , but don't government employed disabled vets get disability checks and salary? Do disabled civilians get that double dip?
-
Veterans with at least a 10% service-connected disability get disability compensation from the VA regardless of employment status. A single Vet with a 10% disability gets $140 a month. A Vet with a spouse and a child with a 50% disability gets $1,026 a month.

Thanks for the facts

tRump is the biggest POS to ever occupy the WH, the faster he’s gone, the faster we can start making this country like it was intended to be. Not for the rich racist but for everyone, no matter their color, race, country of origin or who they love.

But Colonel, good old Micky Mulvaney said only Dems are being hurt so it doesn’t matter to them.

Col. he does not like vets, the troops, or anyone not named Donald Trump Sr.
-
I’m glad to see you added the “Sr.” After all we’ve learned, I think it’s apparent he would feed his own children to the fire for his own benefit.

I’ve made that mistake before.

It’s an upside down world we live in when we even think like this!

It’s true. I keep saying something happened to throw us into a parallel universe. I blame them for throwing Pluto out.
