Debt ceiling deal: What’s in, what’s out of the agreement to avert US default
- jleyank 3y agoIf they want more performance art, they can throw in freezing the salaries of all government workers above a upper-middle manager as these people have the power which is more valuable than money. That would be the White House and its staff, the Congress and its staff and the senior government and military leaders. Given that the "company" is not turning a profit at the moment, management should take a bigger cut than the workers as they have the aforementioned power and they also have the responsibility. Everybody else takes direction. There's probably no way to prevent payoffs, err, campaign donations but it would be very nice if people who run the government at any level don't (really) profit from that Yeah, I'm being naive today - the worker-bees will take it in the shorts.
