        What's sad about this action- military veterans benefit from these jobs. Hurting veterans. @singernews @orndorfftroyan @PressSec @POTUS

        Please explain what an Executive Order achieves, other than making POTUS seem like he's doing something & appeasing supporters.

        @USATODAY @PressSec @POTUS Not every govt worker is making $100,000. Some make less than normal workers. How about helping them

        Reversing a downward trend means hiring, right? So @POTUS is hiring more federal workers?
