00:00 - 00:03 | APHIS has been dealing with reduced budgets for years |
00:04 - 00:05 | We have closed field offices |
00:05 - 00:07 | here, and here. |
00:08 - 00:12 | This will allow us to get through the sequester |
00:12 - 00:15 | without having to furlough anybody. |
00:17 - 00:19 | And now the pay freeze is over |
00:19 - 00:21 | so we get a half-percent raise. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Mein Fuhrer... |
00:27 - 00:28 | Congress... |
00:31 - 00:33 | Congress has extended the pay freeze. |
00:34 - 00:36 | There is no raise again this year. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who voted for incumbents in the last election, leave the room now. |
01:13 - 01:15 | Another year of pay freeze? |
01:15 - 01:17 | How much longer is this going to go on? |
01:18 - 01:23 | They can't get their budget under control |
01:25 - 01:28 | and WE are the ones who have to pay for it! |
01:29 - 01:31 | They are all insane! |
01:31 - 01:34 | First, we had a two year pay freeze. |
01:34 - 01:37 | Add in higher health insurance costs |
01:37 - 01:40 | and the payroll tax increase and we are all going to go broke! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, Congress thinks we are all overpaid anyway. |
01:42 - 01:46 | THEY are overpaid! I don't know about you but I can't take a pay cut year after year. |
01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, they are trying to appeal to the public, which hates us too. |
01:48 - 01:52 | This doesn't have any impact on the budget. |
01:53 - 01:54 | It's all politics! |
01:56 - 01:57 | They are just trying to punish us. |
01:57 - 02:00 | Make some real entitlement reforms. |
02:00 - 02:03 | Get people working and increase the tax base. |
02:04 - 02:08 | That's how you generate revenue. |
02:08 - 02:13 | That's how you reduce the debt. |
02:14 - 02:16 | Not by freezing federal employees' pay! |
02:17 - 02:21 | We would have been better off if we had elected Stalin! |
02:27 - 02:29 | How are these people running our country? |
02:30 - 02:34 | They couldn't run a Taco Bell. |
02:34 - 02:36 | I'm serious. Think about it. |
02:41 - 02:42 | Run your restaurant into the ground |
02:43 - 02:47 | and then ask your employees to pay for it |
02:48 - 02:53 | That's no way to run a business |
02:54 - 02:56 | and it's no way to run a country. |
02:56 - 02:59 | So now we have another year of pay freeze |
03:00 - 03:02 | and they have another year of $200 haircuts. |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's okay Anna. This has to be the last year. |
03:14 - 03:16 | We'll all just get another email from Vilsack |
03:19 - 03:23 | He'll tell us how much he appreciates our sacrifice |
03:25 - 03:26 | Yeah right. |
03:31 - 03:33 | You're welcome. |
03:40 - 03:46 | I wouldn't be surprised if we went another year without a raise. |
03:46 - 03:49 | Looks like it's Ramen noodles for dinner again. |
03:53 - 03:56 | At least we don't work for FSIS. |
