 Seriously, almost all the government positions are pay more in the private sector. I did find one. Without question. I did find one that was the exception. You know who the highest paid government employee in history was? Uh-uh. Anthony Fauci. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. $810,000. Really? Was that through grants or was that the actual budgetary line item? Thinking pay. That's more than the president. And you know what? When he retired, we idiots gave him civil service at a high percentage of that salary.
