The end of the Fed?

President Donald Trump intends to freeze federal pay in 2019 in order to keep government spending more sustainable, according to a letter Trump sent to the House speaker and Senate president Aug. 30.

“I have determined that for 2019, both across the board pay increases and locality pay increases will be set at zero. These alternative pay plan decisions will not materially affect our ability to attract and retain a well qualified federal workforce,” Trump wrote.
