Federal government employees make nearly 100% more, on average, per year, than the average American worker. With the deficit soaring, Nancy Pelosi suggested a 19% pay increase. President Obama is getting props for saying it should be 2%.

Pardon me, but what the hell?

Private sector employees are either taking a cut in hours, are laid off or have pay freezes--because that's what people do to stay competitive in a down economy.

But with the American taxpayer ponying up for Federal employees wages, the sky is the limit. What a disgusting system.
