"Why should federal employees get a raise?"
Why shouldn't they? They are subject to the same rate of inflation as everybody else.

"being unfireable is worth something."
Rat fired a few people at the VA. At the time, they were being paid considerably less than their peers in the private sector. So was he.

"I personally believe this job market would be an excellent time to cut a large number of federal employees loose"
When have you not wanted to cut government payrolls?
