GS Pay Cap

A lot of good the increase will do for higher graded people in most high-cost areas! Unless this bill lifts the maximum pay limit of $149,000 for GS employees, those hitting that limit will see little or nothing.

What a pompous Azz you are! For those of us who are considered "the Rest of the Nation" 3.9% sounds good, we would like more to bring us up to the level of you elite folks but don't expect it in today's world.

I’ve been with the gov’t just a few months shy of two years and I’m a GS-11…EPA Sup, any general principles you can pass along on how we can all one day have this “problem” :O)

The Executive Schedule pay scale has seen increases every year since 2000.
Here are some other federal employees paid EX IV:
Assistant Secretaries of Agriculture
Assistant Secretaries of Commerce
Assistant Secretaries of Defense
Assistant Secretaries of the Air Force
Assistant Secretaries of the Army
Assistant Secretaries of the Navy
Assistant Secretaries of Health and Human Services
Assistant Secretaries of the Interior
Assistant Attorneys General
Assistant Secretaries of Labor
And last but not least:
Assistant Administrators EPA
EPA Supervisor could aspire to the Deputy Administrator EPA position (EX-III $158,000), or Administrator EPA (EX-II $172,200). If that won't ease the pain, EPA Sup could be a Cabinet Secretary (EX-I $191,300).

I am very happy, and grateful, that we might receive a 3.9% raise in January. It would almost, but not quite, make up for the additional $40/month that I will be paying for health insurance. Woo hoo.

With the recent collapse of the financial sector and the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of taxpayers that will loose their jobs as a result, I wouldn't count on any federal raise. You will be thankful if you still have a job.
Remember when Clinton canceled the federal pay raise? Oh, I forgot - the Democrats are federal worker's friends! Maybe that just didn't happen and I dreamed it.
Forget about the stock market as a barometer of the economy. The market is not the economy. The complete loony tunes in our congress, who are the cause of this mess, have insured, one way or the other, that the Great Depression II will be upon us within the next 6 months.
I'm just glad I'm retired and not starting out right now. It could be a very long haul back up. Now, back to tending to my TSP!

2. While Clinton may have cancelled the increase on occasion, every President in the FEPCA era has low-balled the recommended increase one time or another; you can thank the "loony tunes in Congress" for typically restoring to the full amount, contrary to the President's stated desire.
3. You can be thankful you'll still be receiving your annuity. Your smug, condescending attitude toward those of us who are still working is not appreciated. Have fun tending your TSP "garden". I'm satisfied knowing that you won't live forever.
4. Kansas Girl, bureaucrats are themselves taxpayers.

You mentioned in your article, "the I fund is down almost 30% for the year; the C fund is down more than 23% and the S fund is down almost 19%."
What about the F Fund???

3.9% is better than nothing, Thank you taxpayers. I appreciate this. I know some of you won't see that much this year, and I know some of you are looking for work. I work hard for you everyday. I am thinking about you in the decisions I make.

EAP sup, sorry that you are being"cheeted" I feel that myself, as an fed. gov employee, I make a very decent salary. But guess what, in my grade/location, as a rest of us, we don't even get the 3.9% . We will be lucky if it is 2.4%, It does not cover the health care increase, which is same rate for you or me, regardless of location. Tighten your bell, disconnect you cable, scale down your eating out.....Times are harder, stop whinning.
