Obama orders end to FED pay freeze

by

Whew just in time too, since Joe Biden was hurting for money. 

You’d think Congress would get a pay cut.  I mean, shouldn’t they have to produce something…like… say a budget?  Nah, what I’m I thinking?

President Barack Obama issued an executive order to end the pay freeze on federal employees, in effect giving some federal workers a raise. One federal worker now to receive a pay increase is Vice President Joe Biden.

According to disclosure forms, Biden made a cool $225,521 last year. After the pay increase, he’ll now make $231,900 per year.

Members of Congress, from the House and Senate, also will receive a little bump, as their annual salary will go from $174,000 to 174,900. Leadership in Congress, including the speaker of the House, will likewise get an increase.
