| Obama's $170 Million Inauguration and Bailed-Out Wall Street Executives |
| 2009-01-20 |
| From ABC yet ...The biggest group of donors were none other than the recently bailed-out Wall Street executives and employees.

| #9 Bman - Correction - my read was that government employees outnumber MANUFACTURING employees in the US. That leaves out service and other employees not government or manufacturing. So... No, Government employees do not outnumber all other employees. My opine - however many government employees we have - there are to many! |
