As a matter of comparison, in the median family income in 2007 was $50,233, not including the cost of fringe benefits.

I am behind you 100%! Those five departments would be a great start on a long list of bureaucratic money pits.

Doug, I am with you on this but to really see the picture, good or bad, don't there need to be: 1 - comparisons to private sector salaries both national and in the D.C. area* and 2 - a plot of these same graphs over time preferably going back through several Congressional/Administration changes?

* I understand the difficulty finding comparable jobs and can't really think of an effective comparison - my only guess would be large insurance companies but they have all those state by state differences.

I can kill at least one agency in Sacramento!

The California Energy Commission costs us about half a billion a year and PRODUCES NO ENERGY!

It does produce nanny-state regulations by the bushel.
