Let's try an experiment. Cut all government salaries by 30%. Cut benefits tied to salaries, such as pensions, by the same amount. See how many government employees depart for the private sector. I'll bet damn few do. Proving that the government is vastly overpaying and doing it with our tax dollars.

Lets try another experiment. See if you can read this.
I retired from DOD in 1984 because I was tired of the Reagan bull shit.
I was a top of the grade gm-14 making just $54,000 as an aeronautical engineer.
A few days later, I got a job in private industry making $120,000 a year which wasn't a bad piece of change back then.
Here is some more bad news for you. I was only 50 years old at the time and drawing a federal pension on top of the cash.
