Outsourcing is costing America jobs. Why not apply that tactic to the inefficient Federal Government? Recent studies show the cost of government of all kinds and their regulations in the U S add up to app. $ 25,000 per capita. The bulk of that cost are the Feds. Because of those costs the U S is less competitive in world markets. By the way, our overpayed reps will be getting a $3100 inflation-indexed wage increase in January , 2006. This will bring their salary to over $ 165,000 per year. This does not include the medical benefits. Their pensions average over $ 100,000 per year with a 50 years of age starting pont versus $ 14,000 per year and 62 years of age for the rest of us in the Social Security System.
In contrast , 2004 saw the first drop in inflation- adjusted wages in a decade-the average worker lost ground with the app. $ 30,000 per year wage. The U S does not need high-priced government in a Darwinian world that only rewards low-cost adaptive behavior. Bring the government jobs back to the states. All politics are local. We can better keep a lookout for charlatans who we can stop from growing to a menacing size if they are in our midst. Also recent popular movements like border security and geenhouse gas cutbacks all started at the state level. Special interests have a lock on Washington. Let's dismantle that town.
