And for the medium level income positions the benefits that are not in these numbers are much more than the average private sector.

I question whether those numbers are really accurate. Judges are notoriously underpaid -- both at the state and federal level. Most decent lawyers (and some crappy ones) make more than their state's Supreme Court Justices.

Government run health care.....................................Governmen t plans in general.

We could bring up what Medicare was "SUPPOSED" to cost. But it cost many times more.
We could bring up what Medicaid was "SUPPOSED" to cost. But, same results.

We could talk about Amtrak, USPS, The CZarista's and Tzarina's and their UNCHECKED powers.

We could talk about the Dept. of Energy. Formed over 30 years ago with one single directive. REDUCE OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL!!! So it has a multi Billion dollar annual budget. Employees and 'contractors numbering around 150,000 people. Accomplished in its over 30 years of existence??? NOTHING!! AT ALL!! Unless you count a multi fold INCREASE in our dependence on foreign oil.
And Cap and Trade will do the same job while the Dept. of Energy still exists. And Cap and Trade will accomplish the exact same results. Billions wasted, taxes increased, bigger Government, and absolute ZERO positive results.

T.A.R.P. Troubled Asset Relief Program is what liberals said was the plan. It was not and is not a plan, it was a concept in need of a plan. It was passed unread and NO troubled assets were purchased from any banks.
Banks were brought under Washington's control. How much waste?? We will never know but billions on billions and many people in and out of Government should be incarcerated for this fraud.

Stimulus I EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY, must be passed, NOW,NOW, NOW, no time to read! obummer signs at leisure. The PLAN, uhh its being 'formulated'................ A third of the money now gone, $1 in $3 lost to who knows where. FRAUD!!!!

The health care plan, again NO PLAN AT ALL. A liberal CONCEPT that ALL should be insured on the Govt. dime.
The non-plan PLANS proposed so far DO NOT insure all [and how did insurance become synonymous with health care??] And it will cost between $1 TRILLION and $6 TRILLION. Depending on who you believe. But since there IS NO PLAN, no estimate of the cost of the CONCEPT can be believed by any party.

ALL of the liberal agenda is a rush to write blank checks while they have the unrestricted power to pass them.

Well thought out Government programs, well studied, much discussed and then passed, have turned into complete boondoggles many times in the past.

Writing open ended blank checks is plain BAD GOVERNMENT! Idiots should be able to see that.
