    Giving a benefit to government workers only requires a president to write an executive order.

    Making a benefit into a law that affects all workers requires the House, Senate, President, and SCOTUS to all get on board.

      Definitely true, but you never hear conservatives complaining about all the paid leave they get or the healthcare benefits they enjoy.

      If some conservative president really wanted to walk the talk, they’d axe all those benefits for everyone.

        They are walking the talk; they do not believe all people deserve equal treatment. Their worldview is inherently hierarchical.
