Obama Drops The Ball With Proposed 1.6% Pay Raise For Federal Workers

"For six consecutive years, federal employees received no locality increases to their pay, and for three of those years they received no pay raise at all. Since 2010, the inflation-adjusted value of federal wages and salaries has fallen by 6.5%, leaving all federal employees with a lower standard of living than they had at the start of the decade.

it has all been about reducing everybody's retirement checks. keeping that high 3 lower.

Will we go up on the jobs miss, thinking that there won't be a rate cut?

Doubtful. The market will probably drop like it should with the jobs miss. Of course the market has been all over the place, so anything's possible I guess.

Futures already down because of jobs report.

I know it's doubtful. I was just dreaming.

I guess if you are going to dream, it is best to dream big.

 

[jkenjohnson]

Futures actually bounced back up a bit. Maybe we have hope after all. A positive finish going into the weekend would be nice.

Well look what happened. Guess your dreams came true.

While today is usually a day of happiness and joy, I am sad to report that a co-worker has suffered a most horrific loss. His two young boys drowned this afternoon. This after my co-worker had been put through a very difficult divorce. Please join me in praying for this man as he has to cope with the loss of his children, for the rest of his life.

Losing a child is the worst thing, losing two is unimaginable.

It's unimaginable. I have been praying that this guy will some how be able to hold on. I'm not sure that I could.
