· The Department of Defense had 1,868 employees making over $150,000 a year when the recession started. Today, that number is 10,100 employees.
· Since this recession started, the number of federal employees making more than $100,000 a year has doubled...in less than two years.
· The average total compensation for a private sector employee in 2009 was $61,000.00, compared with $123,000.00 for a federal employee.
· With approximately 21,300,000 government employees in this country, that means that about 16% of this nation’s voting electorate works for government.
“If you count spouses or other family members, that means at least 32% of the voting electorate will be likely to come out and vote against candidates who propose cutting government spending,” concluded Ingoglia. “That is a big block of people—and the hidden danger of big government.”
Sincerely,
