Steny Hoyer: White House Should Give Women Equal Pay
Breitbart ^ | January 28, 2014 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 01/29/2014 12:52:42 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Minutes after President Obama ripped America's gender “wage gap” during the State of the Union of Address, House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) told Breitbart News "of course" he thinks the White House should pay its female staffers equally to any equal work done by male White House personnel.

"Well, of course," Hoyer responded when asked by Breitbart News.

What the Julias heard was “he’s gonna make sure I take home as much from my 29 hour a week job as some man does from his 50 or 60 hour a week job”.

Additionally, in 2009, The Washington Post reported a number a female aides complained about the amount of access male staffers in the White House get to the president.

Hey girls, you ain't no Reggie Love.

Having worked with and for women, I would say we would be miles and light-years ahead if we just paid them whatever they want to go away and stay home.

As a woman I do find your comment to be extremely sexist, however I learned at a very young age I preferred to work for men over women - even the overbearing sexists who treated all women in the work place as the coffee getter - until they were proven wrong :-)

I worked for a woman once, for about a year, until she left to make someone else’s life miserable. She was one of about three people in my entire life I ever really considered murdering.

Well, I’d be OK with the Obama’s making up any difference in pay out of their own wealth.

Why would anyone have a problem with that?

How Dramatically Did Women's Suffrage Change the Size and Scope of Government?

JOHN R. LOTT Jr.
American Enterprise Institute (AEI) (download links for whole document at bottom of page)

September 1998

University of Chicago Law School, John M. Olin Law & Economics Working Paper No. 60
Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 107, Number 6, Part 1, pp. 1163-1198, December 1999

Abstract:
This paper examines the growth of government during this century as a result of giving women the right to vote. Using cross-sectional time-series data for 1870 to 1940, we examine state government expenditures and revenue as well as voting by U.S. House and Senate state delegations and the passage of a wide range of different state laws. Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue and more liberal voting patterns for federal representatives, and these effects continued growing over time as more women took advantage of the franchise. Contrary to many recent suggestions, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s, and it helps explain why American government started growing when it did.

Steny Hoyer: White House Should Give Women Equal Pay

Hey Stenchy!

Go get 'em

I heard today that all the WH SheRATs make only around $67K, while Obama's male-biches get $71K.

Make 'em all equal and give them the new and exciting federal minimum wage of $10.

Me, too.

If I had done it, I would have possibly have saved the last of her estranged husband's lives.

Search Terri Gilbert, Albuquerque, NM.

They actually did an hour-long network television piece on her a few years ago. She shot and killed two (2) under similar circumstances.
