SUMMARY:
奥巴马总统周五提议明年给全国人民和军人加薪1%,暗示他想在防止利率大幅上升的同时依法给工人涨工资。
CONTENT:
President Obama on Friday proposed raising federal civilian and military pay by 1 percent across the board next year, signaling that he wants to give the workers a salary bump while preventing the rates from automatically rising by a greater amount under the law.
In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Vice President Joe Biden, Obama said the higher statutory increase set to take effect without his plan would be “inappropriate.” He added that the government must “maintain efforts to keep our nation on a sustainable fiscal course” as the country’s economic recovery continues.
Congress has the authority to block Obama’s proposal, but failure to act would allow the president to implement the pay raise unilaterally through an executive order, as he did with a 1 percent rate increase last December.

奥巴马总统周五提议明年给全国人民和军人加薪1%,暗示他想在防止利率大幅上升的同时依法给工人涨工资。
在致众议院发言人约翰·博纳(俄亥俄州共和党人)以及副总统乔·拜登的信中,奥巴马表示,法定的增长更高,如果没有他的计划配合实施是“不合适的”。他补充说,当国家经济仍在复苏的时候,政府必须“努力保持国家财政走可持续发展之路”。
国会有权阻止奥巴马的提议,但不采取行动的话将允许总统单方面通过行政命令来施行加薪政策,就如去年12月他在加息1%时所为。
