<ul>
<li>Salary of William McGuire, <span class="caps">CEO</span> of UnitedHealth Group: <strong>$124M</strong></li>
<li>Salary of Leslie Norwalk, Head Administrator of Medicare/Medicaid: <strong>$143,250</strong></li>
<li>Salary of <span class="caps">CEO</span> of Walmart: <strong>$17.5M</strong></li>
<li>Salary of Postmaster General of the <span class="caps">USPS</span>: <strong>$173,000</strong></li>
<li>Highest paid federal employee, Army Football Coach Bobby Ross: <strong>$600,000</strong></li>
<li>President’s salary (perks aside): <strong>$400,000</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>And just to add some perspective, the <span class="caps">USPS</span> would be the 20th largest company above Meryl Lynch, if it were private (revenues of <strong>$78B</strong>). </p>
<p>Medicare/Medicaid has a revenue of <strong>$565B</strong>; UnitedHealth Group has <strong>$45.4B</strong>.</p>
<p>Football is a game. </p>
<p>The president rules the free world (more or less). </p>
<p>Painful.</p>
