*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.

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.
Figures Ive missed that fat ship.
The last official act of any government is to loot the country!
