Readers should go to the below site to find a table explaining State of Iowa Base Pay Compared to Market Base Pay Details. In other words what the over paid state workers get while preforming the same jobs private sector workers do.
There’s a workforce advisor position which the state pays 50% more than does the private sector while most of the 47 jobs the state workers are grossly overpaid compared to the private sector person doing the same job. There’s also one job getting 55% and another 46%; so readers should basically read the entire article by the Public Interest Institute.

No wonder our taxes are grossly high and totally unnecessary just so state employees can live good life off the backs of Iowa’s private employees.

Here’s just one paragraph explaining what a new troop proposed handbook will contain for the troops in Afghanistan.
A proposed new handbook for Americans serving in Afghanistan warns them not to speak ill about the Taliban, advocate women’s rights or criticize pedophilia, and the general in charge is not happy with it.
Now the left is trying to brainwash the soldiers as they have the school children with their politically correct hogwash.
This sounds like one of the Hawk Eye’s editorial rants right out of Obama’s playbook. This politically correct life is nothing more than a loser proposal and in return will the Taliban treat our troops likewise or continue to behead, shoot and torture them if captured?
What a crock of crap this has to be and sounds like an attempt to make our military a bunch of people with both arms tied behind their backs rather than the current one arm. A year or two ago they were supposed to restrict their shooting when shot at and be proper and trim liberal dunces while the Taliban were shooting at them.
I wonder if this new proposal means they are not to criticize pedophilia here in America when they come back. What kind of a warped mind wrote this disgusting junk? Is it just another Washington liberal bureaucrat needing to justify his or her gross salary and benefit package?
