Is this including all the under-the-table payments and revolving-door sweetheart deals for politicians? That right there is enough to wreck the curve....

And yet, the unions representing the feds will scream and cry about being paid less than the private sector.

I go red zone just thinking about BigGov bureaucrats ensconced in their cushy little paper pushing cubicles counting down the minutes until their next vacation and early retirements.

I want garbage collectors and roofers to get what lazy ass BigGov slackers get. Garbage guys and roofers actually do something meaningful and important.

That’s all? They deserve a raise since they’ve done such a fine job as caretakers of the republic. /s

Socialism Is Legal Plunder - Bastiat

Very good pay, very good insurance, very good retirement and very good job security. Ditto for their sycophants.

Pay up debt slaves.

CONgre$$ should be in prison and most of the apparatus of socialists should be DEFUNDED and/or DISMANTLED.

Another reason why so many connected to the government tax teet feedbag are doing and saying everything they can to discredit Trump.

Hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats know damn well Trump will be coming with a big loud chainsaw to cut waste, fraud and corruption.

They have damn good reason to be concerned.

Federal workers’ pay and benefits were 78 percent higher than private employees, who earned an average of $52,688 less than public sector workers last year.

The study found that federal government workers earned an average of $84,153 in 2014, compared to the private sector’s average of $56,350. Cato based its findings on figures from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).

OK, I admit that I learned math in a public school, so cut me some slack.

But it seems to me that if on average private sector employees earned $52,688 less than public sector employees, and private sector employees earned an average of $56,350, then shouldn't the average public sector employee be earning $56,350 + $52,688, or $109,038, not $84,153?

Think of all the federal government workers whose jobs are based on constitutionally nonexistent federal government powers.

The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators who pass unconstitutional bills which create likewise unconstitutional federal jobs as well.
