The federal government should align compensation with the private sector

 Reasons to agree:



  1. We are broke. 

  2. Federal jobs have typically had better benefits, but they did not make as much as private sector jobs.

  3. Even people who work for the government should acknowledge that our country is going to have a bad future, if our best and brightest work for the government.  

  4. With projections of huge federal deficits for years to come, policymakers should scour the budget looking for places to cut spending

  5. The OWS protest should look to government with anger at their compensation more so than looking at CEOs. 

  6. During the last decade, compensation of federal employees rose much faster than compensation of private-sector employees.

  7. The average federal civilian worker now earns twice as much in wages and benefits as the average worker in the U.S. private sector.

  8. A recent job-to-job comparison found that federal workers earned higher wages than did private-sector workers in four-fifths of the occupations examined.

  9. It is unfair to ask taxpayers to foot an ever-increasing bill for federal workers, especially when private-sector compensation has not kept pace. We pay for their jobs. They should not be making more money than us. They don't produce anything. Government should be small. It should protect us and that is about it.
