CFTC is asking Congress for more money, even as it lavishes employees with six-figure salaries, bonuses and even gift cards

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

The federal agency charged with guarding against abuses in the commodities markets is facing questions about its own excesses. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has tripled its budget since 2008, increasing its payroll by $50 million over the last two years alone while handing out $1.2 million in bonuses and even lining up a contractor to reward its employees with $50 gift cards. And the independent federal agency, which is free from the normal civil service system compensation limits, pays a whopping 82 percent of its employees a six-figure salary.

The greed of public sector workers.
