Seeking Daylight On The Administrative State
U.S. Senator Joni Ernst and watchdog organization OpenTheBooks demand transparency of federal payrolls.
By Adam Andrzejewski | April 29, 2023
Tracking the federal bureaucracy just became a lot more difficult.
Our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com recently determined from official Federal Freedom of Information Act filings that we pay Beltway bureaucrats in the federal executive agencies outside of the Defense Department and the U.S. Post Office some $576 million per day.
That's more than $210 billion per year for the 1.44 million employees of 125 rank-and-file general administrative, civil enforcement and federal law enforcement agencies.
Economic uncertainty might surround many taxpayers, but for federal workers, we are funding lavish and perk-filled lifestyles.
In 109 of the 125 federal agencies in Washington, the average employee salary is more than $100,000.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average real median wage for the average employee was $54,339 in 2021.
The average salary at the Census Bureau is $67,656. That's just a small example of the 'private-sector' versus 'public-sector' pay disparity.
GRAPHIC: Unfortunately, President Donald Trump didn't drain the swamp and President Joe Biden has put the growth on steroids. These are agencies outside of the Pentagon and Post Office.
After working just three years for the federal government, employees have 44 days of paid time off. Can you skip work for nine weeks and still have a job?
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average number of paid vacation days for U.S. workers is 11 days, or a day more than two weeks.
Furthermore, most federal employees worked from home for years due to the recently concluded Covid "emergency." Congress incentivized this with a $570 million "paid-to-stay home" fund at Treasury. If your child wasn't back to school, you could collect $21,000 over 15 weeks in paid family leave.
Congressional testimony shows Office of Personnel Management Director Kiran Ahuja still has no clue how many federal employees returned, or where the people we pay actually do their jobs.

The Servitor of Empire Kiran Ahuja who is shucking & jiving through the congressional hearing in the clip just above, is paid a government base salary of $151,000 a year. It was Vice President Kamala Harris (Which Lives Matter?) who broke the tie when Ahuja was voted on 51-50 for Ahuja to become the current head of United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM). These federally subcontracted private corporations have become large extremely cumbersome and inefficient bureaucracies where the managers of these federally subcontracted corporations are building fiefdoms for themselves. The average American who often find themelves under the control of these huge multi-billion dollar (OPM has $300,378,647,650 in budgetary resources) bureaucracies have no clue on their day-to-day operations or even their purpose.

Here is a pretty good representation of $576 million in feed being tossed into the trough everyday to keep the corporate administrative state operating...
