In response to the portion of 7/8/10 Alexander's Essays that reads: "Adding insult to injury, non-military federal employee salaries are now 40 percent higher than private sector salaries on average, and while private sector benefit packages average $9,882, government employee benefits average $32,115." I must strongly dissagree with that statement. Perhaps, in Washington in the political circle, that is correct. Out here in the Defense Depots where we support the War Fighter and there systems and equipments, hardly true. We make good money but definately not 40% higher than the equivilant industry. And yes, we are about 99% conservative and anti socialist and definately not on board with the current administrations bumbling. A lot of us subscribe to the Patriot Post and donate.

That would be why Mr. Alexander specified "non-military federal employee salaries" meaning, non-military federal employee salaries!
