 "We're going to have a very hard time after this year recruiting good federal employees because, again, federal employees are taking a hit on those pension plans."

The budget plan is to ask for a 1.3% increase in pension contributions from newly hired federal employees. As to Congresswoman Moore's assertion regarding the difficulty of hiring more federal employees, the current average salary for a federal government employee is $78,467 - more than 50% more than the median household income in America today. So the idea that the federal government will be hard-pressed to recruit good candidates, when its pension plan and average compensation still wildly outpace the private sector, strains credulity.
I think you could reduce the clerical staff of the Federal government -- not the inspectors, not the agents, not the line workers, the clericals -- by 20% and not notice one single difference in day to day operations.
For Obamacare, make that 90%. |
