Another was to reduce the salary of the Federal employee so it would "match" with the same employee in private sector. This could be up to 40% according to the plan. The idea of this is to streamline the government workforce and to get bright new talent into the workforce. I do not see bright new talent going into a system where the pay has just been cut and you are told you have to do a lot more work with less reward. The talent will go to the big money jobs in private sector.

I would like to know how the Republicans think they would have a single Federal employee vote if the employees read this information? It is saying that the Federal employee will have to do more work with less salary and the retirement benefit will be lowered as well.

I would think that the vital services such as processing veterans claims, health care, Social Security payments, and Medicare payments and processing would take longer and longer to do do with a smaller staff of probably unhappy employees doing more and more work as their salaries got cut. How would the Repubicans take care of that problem?
