Zogby/O'Leary: Independents Back Fed Hiring Freeze

A breaking new poll finds that a strong majority of American voters want the federal government to freeze payroll increases for its employees, and institute a hiring freeze across all sectors of the federal government, except those that are related to security.

The poll was conducted by Zogby International on October 1-4 and surveyed 2,077 likely voters.

The poll asked:

Do you agree or disagree with implementing a freeze on payroll increases for federal employees?

A sizeable majority of voters (71 percent) say they agree with freezing payroll increases, including 44 percent who strongly agree. Only 24 percent disagree.

Large majorities of both independent voters (74 percent) and tea party voters (89 percent) also agree with a payroll freeze for federal employees.

FREEZE???? Forget that, start getting rid of the dead wood. Accountability and job performance should be the mantra of any business, including government. Don't perform well? Hit the road. Entitlement time is over, Changes should be manditory. Raise retirement age. Cut retirement pay to the bone for the wealthy. The things that could be done are endless but our current administration believes that give away the tax dollar will work, as though we couldn't figure out that's what got us here in the first place.
