Sure, let's freeze federal pay for two years. It's anti-stimulative, since federal workers buy things as much as everyone else, and there's sure as hell no chance of getting any new fiscal stimulus out of Congress, but what the heck. Then let's announce it without getting any quid pro quo from the Republicans, like extending unemployment benefits for those who are about to lose them.
The Obama Administration may be damned good at policy, but it's amateurish at politics.
