It’s interesting to note that military personnel do NOT bring the average down much, if at all. They are getting the same level of pay and benefits as the civilian feds, perhaps a bit more weighted towards benefits (such as housing).
And, yes, it is true that the federal pay differential got quite a bit larger under GWB; fed compensation in 2000 was “only” 150% of private sector instead of the 200% it is today.
