I have read that something like 1 person made 150K+ pre-2009 in one of the federal divisions, which one escapes me at the moment, but something like 1700 now make over 150K in that division. Seems like most of the stimulus is being handed out in the form of government growth and pay raises Check out http://www.stimuluswatch.org/2.0 and sort by cost, then do some simple math against jobs saved/created.

If the statistic above is true, there must be a huge group(s) of which I am unaware. I was a federal employee for 40 years (six degrees). I managed a missile program and reached $100,000 a year in the last five years of my career. My daughter worked for Boeing for ten years and was part of the team that built the ISS laboratory. Upon the lab completion, she was hired by NASA to work on special projects. She is the Lead System Engineer for the ARES Program and makes about $80,000 a year. All of our colleagues give our "all" in our projects. We are disappointed in all the corruption that has been revealed.
