And It's Exemption
The Freeze for the federal employees should not apply to anyone making under 50k a year.
Landlords don't freeze their rent increases. The grocery stores don't freeze their price inflations.
The banks don't freeze their fees. The Gas station doesn't freeze it's gas prices.
If your employer is the US Government and you make less than 50k a year you probably support a lot of the friends and family hardest hit by the recession- you probably loaned someone money, you probably bunked someone unexpectedly who had to move in a hurry as they were laid off- you probably had to eat the gas driving someone somewhere.
You don't need your salary frozen for TWO years. You and your extended family are the people who Obama is trying to help.

Recalculate the savings if you exclude everyone making under 50k. See how much you save and get it somewhere else. Announce the austerity exemption before Christmas.
