Why Do Federal Workers Make Twice As Much As Private-Sector Workers? Henry Blodget|Oct. 10, 2009, 8:13 AM | 456 |comment8 Print Tags: Economy, Debt, Federal Reserve, U.S. Government fatcatAn interesting detail from John Mauldin's latest economic note: The average federal worker makes $75,419 a year, while the average in the private sector is $39,751. Why is that, exactly? Is it because Federal workers are 80% better than private-sector workers? And remind us again why, in the interest of cutting the deficit, the government shouldn't just slash 20% of its budget across the board? See Also: Our Debt Will Kill Us Embed Post

What bullshit.. Why does the local doctor make $250,000 and the plumber makes $60,000???? Stupid author, stupid question.
You don't know the plumbers I know.
Sure, rub it in, you know the Uptown plumbers and I know the outhouse plumbers. Story of my life, wrong side of the tracks every time.
