Our New Federal Overlords

I'm told that my tone towards the government is too harsh. But it's hard to be civil when I find that our Federal overlords are giving themselves fat raises on top salaries that are 75% above average Americans in the midst of the Great Recession.

STIMULUS! Average Federal Government Worker Pay $71, 206. “The number of federal workers earning six-figure salaries has exploded during the recession, according to a USA TODAY analysis of federal salary data. Federal employees making salaries of $100,000 or more jumped from 14% to 19% of civil servants during the recession’s first 18 months — and that’s before overtime pay and bonuses are counted.”

It is really, really hard, guys.
