I usually stay out of these discussions but this is just absurd.
50% of total employment and 2x the average private sector salary would
imply that 67% of total salaries in the US are paid to government
employees, and only 33% of total salaries are paid to private employees.
I think he's referring to the latest data that shows government people make
50% more than their private sector counterparts.
I don't know if that includes their benefit packages that only Fortune 500
CEO's get.
