By now everyone in the Lehigh Valley has probably read the article in USA Today about how federal government employees' salaries are skyrocketing through the roof.
What is really ridiculous is the puerile whining of federal employees bemoaning their plight and how they struggle with salaries well over the national median income, crying about how they deserve these raises, these bloated salaries. Your salary is paid by taxpayers. The private sector gets to decide what they want to pay its employees because it's their business. Viva La Capitalism! You, O government employee, are part of the public sector. If you want higher salaries, go into the private sector and compete, like everyone else. According to , "the growth in six-figure salaries has pushed the average federal worker's pay to $71,206, compared with $40,331 in the private sector". Nice try, but not nice enough. George W. was guiltier of these scandalous pay raises, recommending a total of 6.9% in pay raises.
Federal Employees Pay Raises and Getting Fat Off the People
Greer: I want to talk about government-imposed moratorium on drilling in deep waters. Drilling companies Transocean Inc. (NYSE: predecessor), Diamond Marine, Inc. (NYSE: do not), and Noble (NYSE: Near East) has declared force majeure may be against them. Claims against the government and things are much easier to defend a political gain from a legal standpoint. Hornbeck did not really have a property right that was taken away by the government. The government before allowing offshore drilling in deep water, and now they are not. This is a change in policy. I do not know if they will receive cash compensation, but may be required for the Obama administration did not follow proper procedures to change the management of government policies. If the government wants to put the new rules or regulations change, there is usually a large beautiful to go through.
