Darrell Issa: “President Obama announced a pay freeze. Within his Executive order, he froze all pay he could freeze. The one he could…”

On the recordFebruary 18, 2011
President Obama announced a pay freeze. Within his Executive order, he froze all pay he could freeze. The one he could not freeze was step increases.

Step increases are simply pay increases because you're on the job, period.
