Rep. Ralph Norman: Is It Too Much to Ask for Federal Workers to Verify Why They Make Average Salary of $106,000 a Year?

EXCERPT:

NORMAN: “Well, Todd, you know, if you look at this, there are roughly 3 million federal workers. The price tag that the taxpayers pay is right at $271 billion a year. Is it too much to ask for them to verify why they're making an average salary of $106,000 a year? Do you think in the private sector that that single mom who is working two jobs at a restaurant can't justify where she was or the hygienist at the dentist's office can't verify what -- you know, how many patients they saw? The absurdity and I guess the arrogance of the workers who says that's a heavy lift is what's wrong with the -- that's what the Americans are sick and tired of. It's not their money. We're the ones who are paying the bills. We have a right to know.”
