Senators Said No To Extended Pay Freeze

The Senate said "no" to an amendment that would have extended the federal pay freeze to the end of 2013. Senators voted down the amendment that had been proffered by Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.). The pay freeze measure was one of 20 amendments to the transportation bill. The Senate last week approved an amendment that would allow retirement-eligible federal employees to begin working part-time while drawing on their annuities. Senators could vote on the Highway Bill itself as early as today.

They used to call this "double dipping" for social security and railroad retirees. I thought they passed a law to prevent "double dipping."

They people who MAKE the laws, DO NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAWS.

If they did, we wouldn't have so many laws.

Or need morons to enforce said laws.

PUKE.
