For feds, more get 6-figure salaries
By Dennis Cauchon, USA TODAY, December 10, 2009
The number of federal workers earning six-figure salaries has exploded during the recession, according to a USA TODAY analysis of federal salary data.
Federal employees making salaries of $100,000 or more jumped from 14% to 19% of civil servants during the recession’s first 18 months — and that’s before overtime pay and bonuses are counted.
Federal workers are enjoying an extraordinary boom time — in pay and hiring — during a recession that has cost 7.3 million jobs in the private sector.

This post is in regards to a Milwaukee, WI proposal to repeal the RNC’s stand on homosexuality. One of the reasons I have voted Republican in the past is due to its stand on this aberrant lifestyle. However, in every election I must think everything through before making my decision. I urge you in the strongest possible terms NOT to repeal your stand on this. Not only do I strongly believe that homosexuality is a perverse behavior which is absolutely against the good of society, but by repealing your stand on it, you risk losing a good part of the solid base which you currently have. I hope you will not risk losing the ground you seem to be gaining in the current political climate by alienating a large percentage of your voters. Remember that these are the voters who really put feet to their convictions.
That (Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell) was a proposed resolution by one of the branches of the RPMC, and was rejected at the annual caucus on Sat. March 6, 2010.
