Believe it or not, congressional pay raises creates votes. Votes from the federal employee. Why? Because the federal workers annual salary increases are often tied to the politicos increase for themselves.

I expect a few former and current feds on this thread are well aware of this tactic by Congress and the government unions.

Really, nothing new. Sometimes, the pressure is too great and Congress backs down. Not lately tho with all the consecutive hikes in salary.
