I should note that the difficult thing in analyzing federal compensation is comparing apples to apples. Most studies that assert federal employees are overpaid compare apples to oranges, i.e, they include blue collar workers, burger flippers, and their ilk in their comparison. Few of those types work for the federal government.
You're an elitist pig.
I can't wait until we chop a good 60% of Federal parasites of the payroll.

The difference is “burger flippers and their ilk” are paid via voluntary exchange. No one puts a gun to your head and forces you to buy a burger. Every dollar that a government worker is paid is stolen from someone else.
Yes, there aren’t many really productive, contributing workers in the federal government to compare to the typical blue-collar private-sector workers.
