Do you think they work twice as hard?

That's right: public sector/government workers make DOUBLE what they make in the private sector. $60,000 for the private sector. $120,000 for the public sector.
This is absolutely ridiculous, this kind of discrepancy should not stand. How did this happen?
Well, government has no profit motive and so wage increases don't have to be actually paid for. They just run the wage increases on the company credit card (our Federal deficit).
My solution:
Pay public sector workers what private sector workers make. Not any more, not any less. Index the pay/benefits by state so more expensive states will get paid slightly more. And that's it.
The American people are just not going to stand for this forever.
