I mentioned this in a post I made yesterday on something that is foreshadowing a Revelations prophecy of one of the seven seals, with the extreme difference in wages between elite and common man. This really relates to two areas, the collapse of our economy, leading to one world currency and government and the extreme out of balance that will exist during the final days.
I marvel at how anyone can think this is sustainable. The Federal employees salaries are all paid for by the private sector, and yet we have them making on average double. That means it takes many, many more people working to support the bureaucracy.
We hear that people today lack common sense, but I suggest that we all still have it, we are just to busy running to and fro to stop, listen, and think about any topic.
To quote the article (the last line): “Federal compensation has grown 36.9% since 2000 after adjusting for inflation, compared with 8.8% for private workers.”
That is insane!
