If you use Facebook, and I know most of you do, you could make over $100k working for the Government! I don't think the Government understands the idea of cutting back or downsizing!
Uncle Sam shelling out big bucks for government jobs, GOP says time to cut
If you’re one of the millions of Americans still looking for a job, the federal government is hiring, and (especially for the unemployed) the pay is excellent. While private sector job growth creeps along at a snail’s pace, the roster of available federal jobs is booming.The Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs needs someone to run the Facebook page for the Dept. of the Interior and they’ll pay up to $115,000 a year. Over at the Dept. of Defense, they’ll drop nearly 50k a year for a new mail room clerk, plus the glorious benefits that comes with government work.
In Washington, D.C., there are more than 1,000 openings this month alone. These include a “student internship” program at the Federal Housing Finance Agency that pays the equivalent of $48,304 a year; a $155,000-a-year gig at the Peace Corps to ensure the agency is complying with Equal Opportunity Employment standards; and a similar job at the Dept. of Transportation that promises nearly $180,000 a year.
Lots of good, high-paying jobs available right now. Sounds great, right?
Well, not everyone thinks so.
Republican policymakers looking for more ways to slash government spending think Uncle Sam is being mighty too loose when it comes to how he doles out the cash to his employees, and if the GOP has its way, the $115,000 taxpayer-funded Twitter gurus at the Dept. of the Interior could become a thing of the past.

This article let's you know that the Democrats are only interested in growing Government and making it the main source of jobs and income here in America. This is a horrible waste of money and we should go through the Government jobs and start hacking these positions and save us a few dollars! Now that's the Right idea!
