Congress can override his decision. The republican controlled congress seems to be missing in action though.

And it will be even better with the parasites taking a back seat. Government's don't make economies great. They only hold them back and rob them of their potential. Time to let the real stars shine. We the people, and the hearty American worker.

Those government workers received tax cuts as well.

That's not what President Trump said and I posted the links.

He didn't say Federal Employees were "overpaid" - he said there is no "performance" criteria for raises.

That's true and they will fight tooth and nail to make sure there is no "performance" criteria.

These people are the "Elite", the "Entitled", the "You can't fire me, even if I steal from the Government or never show up for work".

When the Kibby family was invited to join this group of "elites" with only a 5 year "buy in" for a Federal Government/Taxpayer paid Boondoggle for Life ......

It was an easy decision to say ...... "No WAY, not ever" - I've seen enough of that corruption and will not ever be a part of it (he didn't actually say those words, don't burn bridges). The offers poured in when Mr K retired and they said "you don't even have to move to D.C. area - just take over" .... those in the know, know exactly what PaxRiver is.

The swamp is in the white house. This is the middle class he's going after.

80% of the benefits of trumps tax scam went to the richest 1%.

So no, they didn’t get a tax cut.

The technology didn't yet exist for modern road surfaces. Government roads were mud pits.

They did get a tax cut. What the rich received does not change that fact. Knowing that the tax cuts for the rich butt hurt you so much makes them totally worth whatever negligible cost they were to me and other fellow American workers
