The alternative pay plan that the White House issued this week carves out exceptions to give larger raises to federal law enforcement and military personnel.

The president is officially planning for a pay freeze on both base and locality pay for most civilian federal employees, citing fiscal responsibility and economic conditions.

“I have determined that for 2027, base pay and locality pay for civilian federal employees will not change from the 2026 rates,” Trump wrote in his alternative pay plan letter, quietly transmitted to Congress on Wednesday. “This decision will maintain fiscal responsibility without harming the government’s ability to recruit and retain well qualified employees.”

The planned federal pay freeze makes an exception for federal law enforcement personnel, who are expected to receive a 3.8% raise starting in January. The larger raise for law enforcement is meant to improve recruitment and retention for “critical law enforcement roles,” the letter states.

    They are so fucking evil. Do people realize that the government is the largest socialism entity in our country? Not only for defense, but all government jobs are socialism. All of these people thinking it wouldn’t be them and now being fired. The part I don’t understand the most, why go after air traffic controllers? Even the billionaires have to use them, right? Maybe they have their own air traffic control army? Idk.

    Aww shit, I shouldn’t have googled him:

    42nd and 44th Director of the Office of Management and Budget

    Vought is a self-described Christian nationalist.[11] In 2021, he wrote in Newsweek that the United States should be recognized as a Christian nation in which its “rights and duties are understood to come from God”. He has praised his association with the Christian nationalist William E. Wolfe and repeated several of his views, including an article in The Daily Caller stating that “Jesus Christ wasn’t an open-borders socialist”.[44] According to Mother Jones, Vought was influenced by the works of the German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer in his senior year of high school, particularly deriving a sense of engaging in the world to serve God.[12]
