>>re: Since 2001, the health-care industry has added 1.7 million jobs. The rest of the private sector? None.<<
Most of those health care jobs added were utilization review and case managers...
I just about crapped myself when i saw govt workers are making 220 - 250K a year!
there is no accountability at many levels of govt.
=====================================================
In all, $3 million was spent in just six days. The money paid hundreds of $300-a-day federal firefighters and $460-a-day private contract firefighters. It paid for more than two dozen $1,000-a-day fire engines, a $4,500-a-day portable toilet company, three large helicopters each rented for $10,000 to $31,000 a day, and one $52,000-a-day El Segundo catering company -- For Stars Express Inc. -- that specializes in catering to movie sets and Hollywood stars.
This year, For Stars is again working fires. It is charging the government $10.25 a gallon for iced tea, $8.16 a pound for salted peanuts and $15.89 for a sack lunch -- prices that reflect not only the cost of the grub but getting it to the field.
"It's exorbitant," said Jim Wills, a private fire contractor whose crews worked the Harding fire. "How much can you make a bag lunch for?"
