“When you think about the fact that there are now more workers on the government payroll, State and Federal combined, than there are on private sector payrolls there are a limited number of reasonable conclusions to reach.”
Are you sure about that? I know that fed workers and some state workers actually make more by about 70% than private sector workers, but I’ve never heard there were more of them. I think there are about 80,000,000 employed people in the country. You’re saying more than 40,000,000 of those work for fed, state or municipal governments? I find that hard to believe.
This nugget came out before the info in the disparity of government vs private sector wages. My husband and I have discussed this several times wondering if this is what actually keeps Dems in the drivers seat. Am thinking it was on Fox News but not certain. Will dig around for the source.
I’m thinking the wage disparity is approx. 70 thousand government vs approx. 40 tousand private sector but I could be wrong. I’m wrong alot!
