Trump should stick to his guns. Federal workers are overpaid and many of us regular shmoes have had to deal with stagnant wages in the private sector. Trump's usually right, no need to second guess this.

This is why it upsets the Trumpsters so much to see this and they have to vilify the whole event. Bipartisan agreement on anything is considered treason and sleeping with the enemy in their eyes. For them, you either support Trump and MAGA or you are not an American and an enemy of the people.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Even if that is the case, it still makes a person look stupid to make a big pronouncement and then later say, "I think I'll actually take some time to study the issue."

If you went to college, you'll appreciate that the studying is proposed to take place before the public declaration of knowledge, i.e. the exam. Usually a better success rate that way and also builds some credibility.

Instead of settling to be a “regular shmoe”, think if you would formulate a plan to better your life? Again, we have someone else spouting off who has absolutely no understanding of what jobs are in government serving the citizens.

Hey, you asked.
If your choice in life is to let CNN tell you how to think or get mad at WaldoKitty for telling truth, then you certainly must have a miserable life.
