The federal government is bloated and overpaid.

This is just another example of that.

See, this is the point I think the article/analysis was trying to make but if you look at the positions being described they should make more than Perry's $150k salary. I mean most of the medical professionals are probably VA or Military Medical Command doctors. Those people making more than $150k are an example of bloated government? Air traffic controllers don't deserve to make more than Perry?

Again, this is why I think these types of articles that are silly sensationalism that try to prove that the Federal government is bloated and overpaid when facts behind the numbers don't really support any such conclusion.

They should really be looking at total compensation, not just salary.

Yet, somehow, Rick Perry became a millionaire living on his meager government salary.
