[quote:Anonymous Coward 42476323:MV8zMTcyODUzXzU2NjcyOTIwXzZCMzFCODY3] Still, here are a few of my observations. Worked for the Army Corps of Engineers during college… 2nd day working my boss told me…"slow down son, this is a government job…" Took 1 1/2 hours to fill out the paperwork involved in developing a roll of film. No one did hardly shit… just enough to "look busy". Gov't jobs are a joke… no one wants to get noticed, in a good way or a bad way… no motivation… Today under the presiding parasite, low skilled, ignorant, fat corpulent MORONS are the status quo working for the government. Just look at the TSA. It is a joke, and these nut jobs are making more than a lot of hardworking tradesman who actually produce something AND have to sweat in order to make a living. The average government worker has LOW IQ, and was not made to excel or produce or create. These federal workers PAY NO TAXES… THEY PRODUCE NOTHING… THEY PARASITE OFF THE SYSTEM. You say, "Oh, but they have to pay taxes…" NO! The only People in fact that support the system are the private workers who pay taxes. The government really should just discount their salary, but they do not in order to make you THINK that government workers pay taxes. They pay NOTHING since the government prints the shit out of thin air. The only one who actually pays into the system is the average Joe, who works his ass off, produces something, sells product, and makes a PROFIT. When 2/3 or more of the working people work DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FOR THE GOVERNMENT… you are living in a socialist State… the government is now UNABLE to support itself on the production of the "honest people" and begins to use tricks of illusion, shell games, outright lies and deception, and finally FORCE to keep you in the ILLUSION that they have a "right" to rule over you…. This toilet needs to be FLUSHED… [b]it is full of SHIT![/b] [/quote]

Federal Bureaucrats Are Paid 78% More than Private Sector Workers
New data show that worker compensation is rising faster in the federal government than in the private sector. After rapid growth in federal pay during the George W. Bush years, growth slowed from 2011 to 2013 after policymakers enacted a partial freeze on federal wages.
That era of restraint is now over. The latest data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) show that wages rose 2.9 percent in the federal government in 2014, on average, compared to 1.7 percent in the private sector.
When benefits such as pensions and health care are included, federal compensation increased 2.8 percent, on average, compared to 1.3 percent in the private sector.
