And we let them run the country...
Full credit goes to Dave Berry's "News of the Weird" column for providing this little gem:
"The District of Calamity: The District of Columbia government's payroll for 2005, reported by the Washington Times in July, included 1,268 employees paid over $100,000 a year (including 43 over $150,000 a year). The figures for Baltimore (with a slightly larger population) were 55 and two, respectively, and Chicago, with five times the population of D.C., still had fewer employees in both categories. In fact, even though the D.C. workforce has shrunk by 2,000 workers since 2002, the annual payroll has increased by $180 million. [Washington Times, 7-16-06]"
And yet the have the cojones to put this on their license plates:
Wonder why.
