I’ve written (some would say ad nauseam) about disproportionately generous pay and benefits for government bureaucrats. Particularly for the gilded class in Washington.
I think the evidence for excessive bureaucratic compensation is ironclad, particularly if you look at “quit rates” by sector.
But now we have yet another piece of evidence that the federal workforce is living on Easy Street. Check out this new polling data from Gallup.
Remember, this is polling data with federal workers describing their own status, not what taxpayers think.
So let’s give 44 percent of bureaucrats credit for honesty, which is ironic because bureaucrats in polls have acknowledged they’re more likely to be dishonest! And lazy as well.
Though the real moral of the story is not compensation. As I explain at the end of this video, the real problem is that many government jobs shouldn’t exist in the first place.
