GOP targets salaries, 'offensive' bonuses of federal workers

The Hill reports:
Cost-cutting House Republicans on Wednesday made it clear that they are eyeing the salaries of federal workers.

And they don’t like what they see.

During a House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee hearing, panel Chairman Dennis Ross (R-Fla.) noted that “federal employees on average earned $101,628 in total compensation in 2010, nearly four times more than the average private-sector worker.”
The upper class.
