I have relatives who are employed by the federal government in Washington, DC. They are mid-50s, have worked for the feds for over 30 years, and because of tenure husband and wife each make $120,000. Their combined income is $250,000. They are always taking vacation or sick leave. All they do is complain about how hard it is to work for the federal government and how little they make. They are planning to retire at 58 and 59, and will have a combined retirement income of over $100,000.

Oh, and yes, they get a free membership to a gym. But neither of them have ever set foot in it, so the taxpayers are wasting even more money.
