#40) In the U.S., the average federal worker now earns about twice as much as the average worker in the private sector.

This is the one that's the most disturbing to me. Pampered govt workers riding on the backs of the overworked private sector -- and the fact that the Democrats are the party of govt unions -- is a theme the Republicans should be hammering day in and day out.

Honestly: I would believe Pravda before Time, Newsweek, or the WaPo.

It’s sick, but it’s true.
