And that's not even remotely close to true in the Federal civil
service, *especially* in management positions. The salary of a
cabinet secretary is something like $160K -- try finding a CEO who
will work for that.

That's assuming they don't steer federal work to their companies.
BushCo's croniies got stinking rich doing exactly that.

It would be awfully stupid to steer business to one's adversaries. Jeeze!
