Our locality pay is about 1/3 what the actual COLA percentage should be. I'm fine with taking a bit of a hit on the LP since the vast majority of feds live in the DC area, but the LP isn't keeping up with the economy in this region. Spending is the one area where I'm the most displeased with this administration. As a federal employee in the DC area, we’re consistently the most underpaid of all federal employees.

If he'd not pursued that issue, we'd have a few hundred billion just laying around... (or, at least, wouldn't have future payment obligations weighing us down) Seems that the Iraq mess would have to fall under “George W Bush’s personal discretionary spending.” If he’d not pursued that issue, we’d have a few hundred billion just laying around… (or, at least, wouldn’t have future payment obligations weighing us down)
