The US government is the last entity that should be playing games with salary negotiations. The G payment schedules are well established and can be updated. If they need to figure out other ways of providing a salary, they can update the existing schedules or make a new set that is also publicly available. If I’m paying taxes to provide a salary for a federal employee, I want that to be recorded, publicly accessible, and for there to be a controller somewhere accountable for how they money is allocated.

Not the US govt. think more state and local. US govt salaries are pretty transparent.
