This is what the GOP House is considering for "spending cuts" [View all]

Punchbowl News obtained some info on what the GOP were considering in their quest for cutting spending.
If you're a federal worker and voted for this, I hope it opens your eyes;

"House Oversight and Government Reform floated up to $66 billion in potential savings. The panel is targeting federal workers’ retirement and benefit programs: the Federal Employees Retirement System and the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. Options include an FEHB audit and raising the FERS employee contribution rate to 4.4%, which is currently the rate for recent hires but not workers brought on before 2014."

Many of the other considerations are going to be concerning to a lot of people as well
