its total obscenity but we'll have freepers on here defending this monstrosity saying they "earned" it when we all know, most govt jobs involve paper pushing..

as long as they get away with it...and we all had a chance to be federal worker flunkies but then who would do the real work of the country?.

‘as long as they get away with it’... As long as the same pols (R&D) are continually elected and reelected, ‘they’ will continue to ‘get away with it’. We have met the enemy and it is.....us.

It is a silly comparison because it doesn’t compare salaries for similar levels of skill and work.

The government has reached a point where most of the very low paid, low skill work is hired out to private contractors. They don’t hire people to empty the trash cans and sweep the floors, they hire the private sector for that.
