Government perks

Let's see:

Maximum salary (not counting POTUS/VPOTUS): $167,000

Other than Cabinet secretaries, maybe the #2 level as well, and senior military generals (who use military aircraft), flying coach is mandatory even for 15 hour flights.

My max bonus is 1% of my annual salary as an "incentive award" if I do something particularly noteworthy. There are larger opportunties for the Senior Executive Service, but it's still small.

We are not even allowed to to buy coffee and donuts for a meeting with government money.

Heck, we don't even get dental or vision benefits (there are group plans available, but at 100% employee cost, no taxpayer money); that applies from astronauts and senior execs down to file clerks.
