$5.5T/yr in government spending certainly produces these top-rakers . . . $5.5T/yr by $100k/job would be . . . FIFTY MILLION jobs, *2* out of 5 workers being a g-man.

Clearly there is some major top-skimming going on here, since I don't see 50 million jobs being directly funded by all this spending . . .

How much should a chief of medicine make? In private hospitals its typically around 1 to 2 million a year.

I'm not sure what the point of the article really is. We are always told that top people should get top pay. So the top pay for a hospital chief is $800K. Medicine is an expensive thing these days, so I'm not really particularly surprised. If they had told me chief garbageman was making that I'd be surprised but this is a big yawn.

The state is supposed to leave the high-paying jobs to private industry and its awesome profit controls I guess.

Reminds me of the quote from Casablanca.
Q "Are you sure this place is honest?"
A "Honest? As honest as the day is long!"
