My Brain Hurts
I'm going to have to stop listening to Governor Rendell.
During a news conference yesterday he said he and other non-union state employees had "taken a 6 percent pay cut" because he froze the 3 percent increases for last year and this year.
That, he said, is "exactly the same as a 6 percent pay cut."
OK. In 2007 the governor's salary was $164,396. In 2009 it's $174,435.
Could somebody please cut my salary like that?
If I'm not mistaken a "freeze" is keeping a salary the same; a cut would be, well, cutting a salary -- making it less, decreasing it, slashing it,
The governor also said he doesn't know how much he makes in a month because he uses direct deposit. (That would be more than $14,000, just in case he's curious.)
I betcha the people who would have to pay that measly, insignificant 5 bucks extra a month in personal income tax know how much they make a month – direct deposit or not.
