Did you know?

Just a couple of months ago we found out that there are more Federal employees now than there are employees in manufacturing in this country. This means that there are more people producing nothing in this country yet being paid than there are people producing something that can be made & sold in this the good old USA.

A couple of thoughts on CNN & the Tea Party and the Debt Crisis

I was stuck in aroom where CNN is on and they were reading email about the Tea Party, EACH was a negative response to the T.P. and I tought CNN editors really sought out the worse (also interviews with senior citizens were the same) and then I realized no TEA PARTIER would watch CNN to send in a response (that would be accurate & true) unless they were like me stranded some place where thats all there was. It could have been worse, MSNBC.

The deficit bill should be immediately cut ALL federal departments by 10% and freeze all hiring. Send it up, the president has raised federal employment by 20% since he came into office.

What about congressional incomes & benefits which equal $285,000 a year! When did this happen! The average American makes less than $60,000 a year and the lowly congressperson has a base salary of $175,000 a year then we add up the bennies.

The average federal employee makes about $120,000 a year and we found out the federal employee has it so good more die on the job than a non-federal employee.
