I encourage you to look at the recent studies and you will be surprised, especially at the Federal level.  I also encourage you to read what I wrote as I stipulated there are good, average and bad workers for the govt, just like the private sector.  

And thank you for the news that it took you 3 months to fire someone that stole money as it proves my point.  In my company it would take me 15 minutes to boot them out the door for a smilar offense.  And we all know that in the govt it is far easier to pass a non-performer off to another dept than fire them.  I have 30 years of working on a weely basis with govt employees at the Federal, state and local level and my wife worked 9 years for EPA.  I interview govt employees all the time.  I know what I am talking about on this issue.

I am not blaming the govt worker that their total compensation is too high....that is an issue with the politicians, political appointees and the management.  They should by all means get every penny they can.  Doesn't make it right given all my other objections.  I think it is safe to say that we come at the from a completely different world view.  You view govt employees as deserving to make as much or more than in the private sector.  For all the very valid reasons I presented over and over, I completely disagree.  I think there is little room for either of us to agree so we can leave it at that.
