I must disagree with the editorial on the U.S. Postal Service and its push to end Saturday delivery [“On wasteful spending, Congress is the problem,” April 15].
Regarding “How a contracting official scammed more than $30M,” April 1 issue:
Federal employees have been the nation’s sacrificial lambs, bearing the brunt of deficit reduction efforts, including three years of pay freezes with early reports of an additional 20 percent reduction in pay for many under sequestration. However, sequestration cuts have been more damaging than the pay freeze, particularly for Defense Department employees.
More than a decade ago, I learned that Congress has repeatedly forced the bravest men and women in our nation — retired career veterans — to forfeit dollar-for-dollar their retirement pay if they also receive disability pay for an injury that occurred while serving our nation. This is a problem that needs a solution.
