House Purchase Advice

[Steve85]

It's hard not to give govt contractors raises when they know the rate you're charging the govt is going up annually based on predetermined escalation rates.

my compnay has no problem not giving out raises but collecting an extra 12-15k every year on the seat.... :roll:

If it makes you feel any better, BAH escalation on a pretty large Army IDIQ, ITES-2S, is only about 2.4%. So even the highly paid Sr Software Engineer ($140/hr to the gov) only collects an additional $6100/yr. Of course if they don't pass any of that along, it indeed, is :roll: . ($3.29/hr increase '08-'09 x 1880 billable hrs).
