There’ll be plenty of reasons why Pawlenty will make the presidential race lots of fun

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) will officially throw in his Crown for president Monday in Iowa.

The Prince of Mythical Statistics,

Pawlenty told Fox network:

"You have public employees making more than their private-sector counterparts. They used to be under-benefited and underpaid. Now they're both over-benefited and overpaid...it needs to stop."

I'm just guessing that Timmy got confused among other things by the percentages as a report from the Labor and Employment Relations points out:

"on average, state and local government workers are compensated 3.75% less than workers in the private sector."
