OVERSIGHT REPORT
MAPPING THE SWAMP 
A STUDY OF THE A
DMINISTRATIVE STATE


Published by OpenTheBooks
 
 
 
Yesterday, there was a tremendous gathering of grassroots activists in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. 

Our CEO Adam Andrzejewski spoke to them regarding our recent oversight report "Mapping The Swamp, A Study of the Administrative State." 

Two years ago, at the same event, Adam Andrzejewski held the speakers' platform between U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (TX), Peter Sweitzer (author, Clinton Cash), and Donald J. Trump. 

This year, here's the key question: 

 
Will President Trump keep his campaign promise to "drain the swamp?" The resistance facing the federal bureaucracy could not be stronger - and the stakes higher!
 
In this 25-minute speech, Andrzejewski literally "Maps The Swamp," highlighting the vast size, scope and power of the administrative state.

Here are some 'Key Findings' from our report: 
  • 1.97 million civil service employees at a total cash cost of $136 billion. Every minute, the federal government pays its disclosed workforce $1 million. Every eight-hour workday costs more than $500 million.
     
  • Over the last six-years, the number of federal employees making $200,000  increased by 165 percent
     
  • More than 400,000 federal bureaucrats made $100,000 incomes. Furthermore, nearly 30,000 rank-and-file employees out-earned all 50 state governors receiving more than $190,823. 
     
  • After just 3-years of employment, federal bureaucrats receive 43 paid days off - that's 8 1/2 weeks. We estimate this perk costs taxpayers $22.6 billion annually.
     
  • A new 'minimum wage' for federal employees: at 78 agencies, the average employee made more than $100,000.
     
  • Presidio Trust - a small federal agency in San Francisco - paid out three of the four largest bonuses at the federal government, including the largest in FY2016. The biggest bonus ($141,525) went to an HR Manager in charge of payroll.
