Cost of Hiring a Federal Bureaucrat
Getting More Expensive for Taxpayers
From Ryan Ellis on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 3:13 PM 
The cost of hiring and retaining a federal bureaucrat may be going up for taxpayers.
This week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 626, the "Federal Employees Paid Parental Leave Act." This bill would give federal employees up to four weeks of paid (that is, by taxpayers) parental leave for the birth or adoption of a child.
How generous of Congress with our money.
What this bill would do (and it has yet to pass the Senate) is to increase the cost of hiring a federal bureaucrat. Based on my calculations from May, it costs between $2 million and $11 million to hire a federal employee for a working career. Isn't that enough? How much more do taxpayers need to pay for each federal bureaucrat?
Comments
You can add another Federal Employee to the list: the newly unveiled "pay Czar"... who will be paid by the taxpayer to regulate pay of private companies. Will anyone rise up and stop the Nanny-State from becoming a sick, disturbing, and so-to-be all too familiar reality in America?
>> Mel GA Wednesday, June 10, 2009 3:20 PM
Soon-to-be? I think we passed soon-to-be a long time ago. It is already a sick, disturbing Nanny-State, and it is just getting sicker and more disturbing everyday.
>> TCH Wednesday, June 10, 2009 4:36 PM
Each Czar that we add demands scores of Federal Lackeys, adding to the bureaucracies, needing increasing public funding (aka taxes) beyond the capability of the American citizen to pay. Another additional astonishing monumental move to crumble the American dream and spirit.
