The teleprompter in chief will announce that he is about to freeze government salaries for two years. Of course, government workers thank him, as this means federal salaries which have exploded in the past 5 years will be stuck at all time highs for at least two years, even as nominal salaries for everyone else continue to decline.
In order to promote some vaguely credible idea of austerity, instead of freezing salaries, Obama needs to be cutting. That will never happen as it will cost him votes.
