#1 And that's why they (and their kinds in your colleges) will fight to the death against "Trump's Revolution"

#2 Are they including military personnel in their average?

#3 The source for this article is a little inflammatory.
Please consider the 'Cost of Living' for different regions
as a contributor to the suggested wage disparity.

#4 An old trick - keeping the Military as an UN-employed stat helps.

#5 There was a different time when this was not so. Because they are paid more than the average American, it fosters an atmosphere of elitism in government.

#8 You are pointing to an article bemoaning the Federal bureaucracy.

A bunny inspector where? Washington DC? Los Angeles? Des Moines? Los Cruces? What pay grade? How many years in service?

#9 Pournell is a gold mine, no?
I can only think of the many obscure, idiot laws they maintain.

We really need to break this back down to the states. This Leviathan has a life of it's own and you cannot live with it.

#10 A wonderful step in the direction of income equality would be requiring Congressional and other government employees to be subject to Obamacare.
The lie that Congress is a small business has allowed Congressional employees and Congresspeople to get subsidies that they are not entitled to.
Why not get rid of that?
The only question of interest is: should the recipients of this fraudulent government largesse be required to reimburse the government for past illegal subsidies?
I note that the Obama administration billed veterans in a somewhat analogous situation.
