RE :”The growth of public sector compensation and benefits in the context of a global recession is not only a travesty, it is a serious impediment to the future growth of our country. Why would a graduate from a top university pursue a job in the private sector (in which jobs are now even more scarce) when, after nine years of pay hikes and benefits in the context of a struggling economy, the compensation of federal civil servants is now, on average, twice that of private sector workers? The United States right now needs to be moving in the opposite direction from the one we are currently heading in. We need the brightest college graduates innovating in the private sector, not working as overcompensated, under performing federal workers. We need lower tax rates to stimulate private industry

Yep, I am here in MD near the heart of government job-land where they live like royalty compared to those in other areas of the country that foot the bills. New home developments are being built here while other areas main employment is home forclosures. The public servants have become the masters.

There's much talk of those who don't care for too much government - but NOT ENOUGH TALK about government workers ( with power ) who resent the people...
