Lies, damn lies,
and statistics.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politi...FnM_story.html

I suppose I could argue that this is a study conducted by the BLS, pretty much a fox guarding the hen house scenario. Or that if the federal employees are taking such a beating, why don't they go get a job in private industry?

But I won't.

I'm simply going to state that this is a crock of shit, IMHO.

Chas

I think were all overcompensated. Well, except for the CEOs of course, those poor things are so horribly abused....................

Anyways, I firmly believe that once we're all working for a warm bucket of gruel and cot in the company barracks, America will be back on top again.

And, I know how THAT makes the hearts of all True Patriots swell with pride!
