What recession?

For feds, more get 6-figure salaries
The pay raises are astronomical, averaging 6.6% during one of the worst recessions in decades, while at the same time hiring like crazy... When the recession started, the Transportation Department had only one person earning a salary of $170,000 or more. Eighteen months later, 1,690 employees had salaries above $170,000.


We're talking about our Federal Government here, not Goldman-Sachs.

It makes you damned proud to be a taxpayer, doesn't it?

Be that as it may, just make sure you keep sending it in. If you don't, some of these Federal employees will come and take your house.
