In a letter sent to House Speaker Paul Ryan on Thursday, President Trump announced that a majority of civilian federal employees will not receive pay increases next year, undoing the original 2.1% pay increase that was set to take effect in 2019.

The details: The president explained the change is an effort "to put our Nation on a fiscally sustainable course, and Federal agency budgets cannot sustain such increases." No change has been announced for pay increases of military troops, which are still on track to receive a 2.6% bump according to the Military Times, marking their biggest pay raise since 2009.

US budget deficit an ENORMOUS ONE TRILLION dollars for first time in five years

DONALD TRUMP’S tax laws and huge military spending are to blame for heavy government spending as the US approaches its largest annual deficit in over five years according to new reports.




Trump’s tax cuts to the wealthy and big corporations have also faced some of the blame for the rising deficit with less government income.

The White House has now predicted the annual deficit will go beyond the one trillion dollar mark for the first time since 2013.

When operation twist was in full play and the government through the fed was buying trillions of mortgage back bonds and the economy was not doing as strong as it is today.

Wonderful news dear leader Trump!
Public workers, especially UNION workers have fleeced the system long enough.
Thank you for stopping the madness.

He won't reply to this, he is happy that the cost of living adjustment as a result of inflation is denied to working people.
