Veterans take a hit along with many other federal civilian employees.

Well guess you could say this helps working class and their 401Ks but don't think that's the intent.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen It’s the juxtaposition between Federal pay freezes to fix the “unsustainable budget” and the proposed tax cuts that will undermine the fix!

Yeah, but what they are not saying is I would bet a good number are retires and are getting both their GS paycheck and their retirement check and some are probably getting disability also. So you could have GS10's that are retired E-8 or E9 and 100%. I don't think they are going to go hungry or in the poor house for a year or more.

Perhaps, but they make up a small percentage of the federal workforce.

Sorry to hear that. I am not affected by the freeze; but, that is really too bad. @Lt Col John Christensen.
