See that heat map in your link? Shows the intensity of federal worker concentration. Which part is darkest? Also, would you say that heat map reflects population density for the entire US? Hint: it’s doesn’t. Why? because 21% of the federal workforce in the DC metro area does not represent 21% of the US working population. In fact, if you indexed federal worker percentage by state to population by state, you’d see the DC metro area is off the charts, i.e., the federal working pool is heavily skewed to that area compared to the rest of the US. Get it?
An interesting thing. These people weren’t his fans anyhow last time I checked. No loss there. And it’s a sure winner with his fans. And mebbe even some of his non-fans who ain’t in gubment. Kinda surprised you went there sniffing around for sympathy.
Not to mention that the private sector also includes all those minimum wage jobs (that tax payers subsidize, but I digress) and other low paying jobs that drag the average down. Federal government doesn’t have Walmart stickers gettin $8/hr.

Amen to that!
His 147 golf outings since he took office paid for by the Taxpayers.
Countless 2020 reelection rallies all across America paid for by the Taxpayers.
His and his family busting the Secret Service Budget for the whole year by August of 2017.
He is a budget hypocrite of the First Order.
But the Donny Deplorable Dummy’s love it!
Besides that so many of them speak other languages, they probably aren’t real Americans.
152 golf outings as of now, over a quarter of his time in office.
First a CostCo membership, now they probably want a Sams Club membership on top of that.
Trump doesn’t control their wages. Congress can give them a raise.
Space Force rules! Marine Corp drools.
that would require Congress to locate their balls.
Ok. If you say so.
Lol. the folks behind the desk who process your passport? The security details at federal courthouses? The clerks and office staff at federal courthouses? the office staff at all the departments? DC park rangers? Cafeteria staff at Congress and the WH? Travel offices for congress and the WH? Mail too employees at the various departments?
All Centgov bureaucrats?
Lol.
Trump delivers a billions in tax cuts to teh wealth and cuts the pay of working class americans…
And people wonder why working class wages stagnate…
The Judiciary finally got disgusted with Congress and made sure they would get their pay raises for all time. Unfortunately for the Civil Service, they don’t have that kind of power. 
Go down to the congressional cafeteria and the folks slinging hash that they don’t need any more money and they should suck up a 25% pay cut.
Yes. All of them.
Nobody cut anybody’s pay.
So if Donald Trump had done nothing about Federal Pay Raises in 2017 the Federal Employees would have received a bigger raise in 2018.
Promise kept!
In August, Trump formally announced his alternative pay plan to increase pay by 1.9 percent, a requirement to prevent a much more generous raise from automatically kicking in as a result of the 1990 Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act.
“A pay increase of this magnitude is not warranted, and federal agency budgets could not accommodate such an increase while still maintaining support for key federal priorities such as those that advance the safety and security of the American people,” Trump wrote in his August statement.
A mail room clerk??? BWahahahahahaha!
The conservative movement as represented by this board, has it’s head so far up a liars ***, their head is completely gone.
