No , not talking about orange popsicles or anything dirty. I’m talking about saying that Federal Bureaucrats out earn their private peers and that the US Government is wasting all this money on Federal Employees. This from a man who earns $193,000 in salary, has a private pension plan from his years in Congress that is the envy of everyone and who has a healthcare program that anyone would want…. All paid for by your taxes. Maybe it’s time to make our Representatives pass lie detector tests before they can make such ridiculous pronouncements. Or maybe the Democrats should pounce on this idiot and tell it like it is.
First, Boehner and his party have no new ideas to give the public and the ones they spent the years 2000-2009 foisting on we the people are failures. So Boehner has to manufacture an issue. During a time when there are so many people out of work it looks like Boehner is maneuvering to see that more join that crowd. Good shepherd that he is, he really is looking out for us…. NOT! Third, Boehner’s numbers are a complete fabrication. I doubt that he got them from a reliable source, probably one of his CEO golf buddies. The Office of Congressional Information states that in fact when you compare levels of experience and responsibility across the board, Federal Employees earn something in the neighborhood of 22% less than their Private Industry Peers. Perhaps the location where Mr. Boehner pulled his figures from might be described as somewhere around the location of his golf glove.
The problem is Mr. Boehner spouts this crap and the people who are calling BS on it and pointing him out to be a liar are also being too diplomatic about it. The man lies, has lied and will continue to lie. Maybe that’s why he’s orange, all that untruth is affecting his skin color like Pinochio’s Nose grew on him.
