Trump Administration to offer all 2 million federal employees a buyout to resign

73. We Disagree

It is not extra-legal if it is a law. It will not pass in the current Congress. It is a common tactic in the Congress for the minority party to introduce bills that are designed to get the other party to vote against it. This is a common practice in the Congress. This forces the Republicans to take unpopular positions. If large segments of the population are suffering from these cuts and freezes (which they will, if and when they go through), then the Republicans are going to look like bastards for voting against a bill designed to give the people some relief. Again, this is a long standing practice in the Congress- the minority party proposing legislation as a statement, knowing that it is not going to pass. When it does not pass, it provides talking points for Dems in the media, and allows them to develop an argument for voting against the Republicans in the next round of elections, and voting for Democrats. This is standard operating procedure in the Congress.
