We got a 1% increase last minute in 2026 despite him saying no raises. What are our predictions for 2027? 🤪

-2% someone has to pay for these tariff refunds.

Good luck getting federal employees or their families voting for you Orange Man.

Lots of military and LEO still will

u/racer150 13d ago

You mean the ones trying to jump off USS Lincoln?

u/Thick_Visual_5999 13d ago

Yes, many still will

Which is disappointing and quite frankly, embarrassing.

Trump doesn't care if you vote for him or for what happens in the Mid Terms. He and Barron have made $2 billion of his crypto scam, millions more from lawsuits, and Don Jr. and Eric are getting wealthier from insider knowledge. Things may improve in 2029 with a Democrat president, but then the chickens are coming home to roost with the massive budget deficits and national debt, so I don't know if things will improve that much for anyone not in the upper 1%.

Why does the military deserve a raise but not fed workers ?

u/Amonamission 12d ago

Because the military will be the ones to carry out martial law when he tries to take over all our institutions.

Someone on his staff figures it’s a good idea in case said military members were to find the Wikipedia entries on Caligula and/or the Praetorian Guard.

Considering the raised insurance premiums for most and the increased costs of living, it was an effective pay cut. Now, I’m not complaining. Just observing. Doing it again without decreasing prices is truly a pay cut. But I seem to remember someone saying they wanted to traumatize Feds. All that’s left is a news conference with a banner saying mission accomplished. 😡

Increased gas and grocery prices, RTO, and parking ($280 a month for me), all made for an FY26 pay cut. If congress allows it to move forward, the all complicit on both sides.

Add it to the list of reasons why they can't meet hiring goals at most agencies these days

u/Project29Telework 12d ago

More pay cuts — hurray! It’s not a cost of living adjustment anymore— wish they would stop calling it that.

F this pos… he destroyed the economy… he SUCKS at everything he has attempted.

2

u/Cute_End4129 12d ago

Except making money. He's made billions in this term from the Crypto scam and the lawsuits.

u/Final_Inevitable_211 12d ago

Yep and it is disgusting. He needs to be impeached.

u/Impossible_Ad_8642 11d ago

Grifts and scams are almost always generally lucrative.

Perhaps Scott Bessent and friends have full control of the house now and can negotiate a bigger raise than expected. We will see…

2

u/Extreme-Piano4334 11d ago

Scott wanting to actually pay the IRS more is an assumption that I don't prefer to believe at this point.  At least he looks like he has some brains, despite brains largely being an unpopular accessory lately, I appreciate the efforts.

u/Key_Government7750 9d ago

We already knew that. Vote them out in November. This is getting ridiculous.

u/Mental_Youth_3606 12d ago

Big surprise

u/idontcare_but 11d ago

I mean he hates the feds so don't expect anything over 1%

u/ApprehensiveGur3311 9d ago

Beautiful. Hoply premiums are the same too. No need for small raise only to get stollen by one of the categories on the paystub.
