Maintaining our Facebook page is just one of the Administrator’s many tasks here at IHateTheMedia.com. If he were smart (which is always debatable) he would take those skills over to the Bureau of Indian Affairs because they’ll pay him $115,000 a year to do the same job he does here for about $114,000 less.
The Daily Caller has details that will make your head spin like Linda Blair’s in the Exorcist:
If you’re one of the millions of Americans still looking for a job, the federal government is hiring, and (especially for the unemployed) the pay is excellent. While private sector job growth creeps along at a snail’s pace, the roster of available federal jobs is booming.
The Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs needs someone to run the Facebook page for the Dept. of the Interior and they’ll pay up to $115,000 a year. Over at the Dept. of Defense, they’ll drop nearly 50k a year for a new mail room clerk, plus the glorious benefits that comes with government work.
In Washington, D.C., there are more than 1,000 openings this month alone. These include a “student internship” program at the Federal Housing Finance Agency that pays the equivalent of $48,304 a year; a $155,000-a-year gig at the Peace Corps to ensure the agency is complying with Equal Opportunity Employment standards; and a similar job at the Dept. of Transportation that promises nearly $180,000 a year.
Is there a guy somewhere who’s in charge of figuring out new ways to piss away your tax dollars? And how much do they pay him?
And one other question: Why do we still have a Bureau of Indian Affairs? We thought they were now Native Americans and “Indian” was a racist term. Doesn’t this mean the government is promoting racism?
Oh, well. They call it maize, we call it corn.
