a sliver more rpsh W hen parsed, the promises of unilateral action in his speech amounted to not much more than a few low-level government workers getting paid a sliver more. When you carefully examine his words, his promises to act alone (without an act of Congress) will not improve the standard of living for the whole population, but will only provide very small raises for a relatively small number of low-paid government employees.
