Biden gloats about boosting federal worker pay while the rest of America suffers
December 27, 2023 | Kevin Haggerty
A pandering “bottom up…middle out” pay bump for federal employees celebrated by President Joe Biden was panned as a “slap in the face to ordinary Americans” heading into an election year.
