Two Americas, two White Houses

White House to pay $37 million in salaries for 2011 | Reuters.com

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House said on Friday it will pay $37,121,463 in salaries for 454 employees in 2011....

More than 30 percent earn between $100,000 and $200,000 a year while 154 take home less than $50,000, according to the 2011 annual report on White House staff.

And under President Bachmann we might not have to pay them anything at all. Maybe they will work for peanut butter sandwiches or something. Or anything.

I can live on a lot less than $50,000 but I don't work in the White House. Or live in Washington, DC. Oh, and by the way, you wouldn't call this a security risk or anything, would you? No. Of course not. Why would I think a thing like that?
