John Carter Federal Pay Freeze a Good Start; Now Fire the Czars

(WASHINGTON, DC) – President Obama’s announcement of a pay freeze for federal employees should be followed by firing the unneeded “Czars” the President has appointed without Senate confirmation, according to House Republican Conference Secretary John Carter. “Time to throw out the deadweight,” says Carter. “If we can hold off pay increases for federal employees and social security recipients, we can certainly get rid of this crowd of folks who were appointed under constitutionally-questionable conditions for jobs that could be done by existing officials.

That is a waste of taxpayer dollars, and I hope the President will use his apparent new deficit-cutting momentum to send out some pink slips to the rent-seekers.”
