Looks like Federal Employees are still getting pay increases.

I dont think cutting sallary is good way to end the deficit anyway. There are more creative ways to do that

Pay should be increased everywhere. After all, profits are at a record level, why not share with those who made it happen. This would increase aggregate demand and help cause economic growth and defeat the debt deflation that's still unfolding.
