Romney Again Targets Federal Compensation, Jobs

The National Journal reports:

Mitt Romney again said he would reduce the compensation of federal employees and shrink the government workforce if he’s elected president, during a recent interview with Fortune magazine.

The GOP candidate told the publication in an Aug. 2 interview that he wants to tie the pay and benefits of federal workers to compensation packages in the private sector, which he says would save $47 billion annually. “I don’t think government workers should be paid a better deal than taxpayers who are paying for them,” he said.
