are federal workers over paid considering how big the deficit is?

www.usdebtclock.org claims we have a 54 trillion dollar debt that is just insane how much we are in the red! maybe if federal employees including congresspeople got less pay it would help!

    Federal workers are over paid considering what they make versus the private sector.

    Maybe it would.

    Don't forget though that line of work is typically a haven for middle-class workers who can't get a job anywhere else because of the economy.

    Maybe by taking away their money you'll be doing more harm than good.

    Maybe, just Maybe, you need to think about this a little more.

    not only are they overpaid they have outrageous benefit and retirement packages. if obama really wants to save money get rid of about 20% of government workers since a lot of departments overlap anyway
