Club Fed

The WSJ reported yesterday that the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis confirms that the average federal civilian worker earns $106,579 a year in total compensation, or twice the $53,289 in wages and benefits for the typical private worker. This federal pay premium costs the taxpayers big bucks...Uncle Sam's annual payroll is now $200 billion per year and growing.

The government is spending too much money relative to just about any historical measurement, although we are "at war" we need to reign in these rising costs and add it to the correction needed in the American Entitlement mentality taking place today....

Barkly seen here walking along the Lake Minnetonka shoreline is seeing the summer nights coming more quickly now....the dog days of summer!
