I have a family member who was a hard-working, dedicated Federal employee. We used to worry about her every day going to work at the Federal Building in the months after Tim Mc Veigh struck. That being said, it does not change the fact that there are far too many Federal employees and their compensation has become far to generous as compared with the private sector. This is unsustainable as those of us out here who pay the freight for that are not going to stand for much more.
You appear to be of the impression it's increased.
