editorial 4

This editorial is discussing the increase in federal employees, their pay raises and compares the federal employment to LBJ's time when the federal government had more employees. This article criticizes the federal government for spending more in the recession and not cutting back like the rest of the country has felt they have had to do. The president's director of the Office of Personnel Management,John Berry, is quoted throughout the article as a good source for inside a few aspects of the government. What stuck out to me in this article was the desk employees who have abused the privileges of their job, gotten more money for it, and yet only a slap on the wrist for taking advantage.
