Went for dinner last night to a nice restaurant, but Christmas party season is in full swing, and instead of the usual diverse menu, there were three - Loyola Dec 13, 09:24 4
- That seems odd unless the restaurant was "closed" for a private party? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Dec 13, 09:50 3
  - They should have really. We were the only table of two in the whole place. -- nm - Loyola Dec 13, 09:53 2
    - Well, if you were a party crasher you really can't complain. - Cuzzin Todd Dec 13, 09:56 1

Mitt Romney just brought forth this gem... "the average government employee makes $30,000 more than the average private sector worker" - stewie Dec 13, 08:15 35
- that will put him in good with the civil service unions -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 13, 11:57
- I'm a government employee & I am most definitely not making 30K than anyone. - CovingtonCat Dec 13, 09:59
- and fwiw the numbers he's citing does not include the armed forces and elected officials... -- nm - znufrii Dec 13, 09:38 1
  - basically the only thing we get from this is that Mitt reads USA Today - znufrii Dec 13, 09:40
- well thats obivius why - Danedukenuuk Dec 13, 09:21
- We're paying almost 100 million for Congress, President & VP, not including benefits.....pretty high for the worst management team on the planet - scorpion Dec 13, 08:38 29
  - $400k for the President....yeah, that's astonishingly low relative to job importance. - Will Hunting Dec 13, 09:02 12
    - 7 CEOs made more than $100 mil in 2008 all by themselves... and I'm sure Citigroups top 10 employees topped $100 mil too - stewie Dec 13, 09:07 4
      - The only reason I know of anyone who wants to work for the govt is the benefits and the relative job security. - Will Hunting Dec 13, 09:08 3
        
        yep.. benefits and impossible to get fired - stewie Dec 13, 09:10 2
        
        While it's difficult to fire a government employee, it is not impossible. - CovingtonCat Dec 13, 10:00 1
        
        Oh, and my health insurance costs go up every year just like everyone else. - CovingtonCat Dec 13, 10:09
    - 174k for congress rank and file, more for leaders -- nm - scorpion Dec 13, 09:04 6
      - Only person to top 200k a year is Pelosi. In the grand scheme of things; I ain't thinking this is an overpayment relative to job scope. - Will Hunting Dec 13, 09:06
      - what would you prefer this "worst management team on the planet" (that's going to amuse me all day) make? -- nm - TFox Dec 13, 09:05 4
        
        What other corporate management team has spent thier company in to 10 trillion in debt? But to answer your question - scorpion Dec 13, 09:11 2
        
        Is it possible that you just *are* an e-mail forward? Like a precursor to Skynet? -- nm - TFox Dec 13, 09:11 1
        
        Heh, The Skynet of ST? - scorpion Dec 13, 09:14
        
        It's not like they're the Detroit Lions or anything. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 13, 09:06
  - that's super... doesn't make Romney pretending government jobs compare to all private sector jobs any less stupid - stewie Dec 13, 08:55 12
    - Comparing average private sector pay with average public sector pay is a valid endeavour imo. -- nm - Loyola Dec 13, 09:10 6
      - sure...for the same jobs - stewie Dec 13, 09:12 5
        
        To be fair, when calculating averages, the claimed 30k "overspend" is made up of (one assumes) a collation of salaries, not only of the lower paid in - Loyola Dec 13, 09:17 4
        
        Im sure it does include all salaries, high and low, but the volume of low paid jobs, where no similar government job exists, is what lets him say that - stewie Dec 13, 09:31 1
        
        Let's also note the private sector has very few jobs that entail "hey, go shoot at this dude, and probably get shot at back." -- nm - TFox Dec 13, 09:32
        
        not that effort is the primary judge of competency for government. the Gov't *ought* to be above average, and paid accordingly. -- nm - TFox Dec 13, 09:23 1
        
        I disagree on the ought, but no amount of disagreement on my part will change the fact that they will be paid more. - Loyola Dec 13, 09:30
    - depends on if he was comparing function to function or all private sector Vs all Gov lumped together -- nm - scorpion Dec 13, 08:57 4
      - He probably wasn't because then his argument would be too complex for a bumper sticker. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 13, 09:01 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - znufrii Dec 13, 09:39
      - doesn't the gov employ cafeteria workers -- nm - scorpion Dec 13, 08:58 1
        
        Guess not any more: -- (link) - scorpion Dec 13, 09:00
  - That also does not include the $50,000 non taxable expense alowance per member -- nm - scorpion Dec 13, 08:52
  - C&P from e-mail forwards is *fun*. -- nm - TFox Dec 13, 08:43 1
