We can think of a couple federal employees who deserve pay cuts.
Oh, my God! It’s a national emergency! Why didn’t we hear about this on the news last night?
Because it turns out it’s not really an emergency President Obama wants to publicize because his own profligate spending caused it.
The guy who routinely muscles America’s television networks for meaningless primetime press conferences, quietly declared a national emergency in a letter on Monday.
What’s the emergency? Simple. He’s spending too much money and needs to screw federal workers in order to reduce his own deficit.
“Title 5, United States Code,” the letter says, “authorizes me to implement an alternative pay plan if I view the adjustments that would otherwise take effect as inappropriate due to ‘national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare.’ A national emergency, within the meaning of chapter 53 of title 5, has existed since September 11, 2001. Likewise, with unemployment at 9.5 percent in June to cite just one economic indicator, few would disagree that our country is facing serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare.”
Apparently, this national emergency is very narrowly-focused, because it only impacts the salaries of federal workers.
Let’s pause briefly while we laugh our asses off.
How’s that Hope and Change thing working out for all you unionized federal workers who labored so mightily to get this guy elected?
