President Trump on Thursday blocked an automatic pay raise for 1.5 million federal workers, and asked Congress to pass legislation with no increase next year for employees covered by the General Schedule pay system.
“Federal agency budgets cannot sustain such increases,” Trump wrote in a Thursday letter to congressional leaders, a formality that blocks an automatic 2.1 percent raise from taking effect in January under the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act.
"I have determined that for 2019, both across‑the‑board pay increases and locality pay increases will be set at zero," Trump wrote.

SP5 Mark Kuzinski Boy he just stepped out on the plank and may have taken one step too many. Hope not.

In order to drain the swamp, we would need to review politicians and government employees performance before approving retirement benefits. By default, we pay retirement benefits to a great number of underperforming government employees and formal politicians.
