*When you total up all compensation (including health care and benefits), the average income for a federal worker in the Washington D.C. area last year was $126,369.

*In 2005, 7420 federal workers were making $150,000 or more per year. In 2010, a whopping 82,034 federal workers were making $150,000 or more per year. That is more than a tenfold increase in just five years.

*In 2005, the U.S. Department of Defense had just nine civilians earning $170,000 or more. When Barack Obama took office, the U.S. Department of Defense had 214 civilians earning $170,000 or more. In June 2010, the U.S. Department of Defense had 994 civilians earning $170,000 or more.

*Last year, federal employees "earned" approximately 447 billion dollars in total compensation.

Holy Shit! I have 2 purple hearts and 11 years military service, and a BS in Biology I am going for a fed job. I understand we get points when applying for federal jobs, but I had no idea they were paid that much. You guys may have some legitimate issues.

Ah, but it's not going to last, this government entered into technical bankruptcy several years ago, now it is entering the phase of effective bankruptcy...of course, it will take the whole country down with it as its fiat money substitute system fails.

The last official act of any government is to loot the country!
