You think federal gov’t makes people wealthy? Almost nobody.

There is the obvi, Members of Congress are already wealthy for the most part. Same for presidents. And people who can leave a gov job & make $.

But almost everyone else makes far less working at any gov’t job pays less than a comparable job elsewhere. Benefits are now only marginally better, weighting everything.

And like only CA has a wonderfully cush salary for legislators, but it is expense to live in many CA cities & towns. Same for NH.
