So a few commenters pointed out that there was much more to the bill, which I did actually read. I was under the impression that Bush could use his powers of line-item veto and in my head, that meant he could scratch everything out except for that 3.5% pay increase. Heh… Let’s just say that I am having a really hard few days, and with no light at the end of the tunnel just yet, this seemed like a good thing to pounce on. While I am still highly irate that there will not be another .5% raise coming to us any time, soon, I admit that there were several items in that bill that I am pleased did not pass.
We’ll have to keep an eye on that one…
Trust me, it understandable. Sorry you are having a rough few days. Hope things look up for you soon!
