Boom Time for Federal Employees

The story:

The number of federal workers earning six-figure salaries has exploded during the recession, according to a USA TODAY analysis of federal salary data.

Federal employees making salaries of $100,000 or more jumped from 14% to 19% of civil servants during the recession’s first 18 months — and that’s before overtime pay and bonuses are counted.

Federal workers are enjoying an extraordinary boom time — in pay and hiring — during a recession that has cost 7.3 million jobs in the private sector.

This is horribly wrong – if anything, the federal workforce should be undergoing reductions in order to control spending. But what do Obama and the liberals propose? Much, much more of the same. This is insane! We need more people creating wealth, not more draining of our economic lifeblood to boost up AFSCME Union numbers, and donations to the Democrat party.

Message to everyone hired since January 20th: don’t get too comfy. You’ll be forced out soon – and that isn’t a threat, its a promise.
