White House Salaries Jump

Well, one part of the economy is "doing just fine." It looks as though they're trying to squeeze as much cash out of the gravy train now that they're into the final months of the Obama regime.

The White House released its annual report to Congress on staff salaries. At 4:39 p.m. on Friday.

A quick review found the White House payroll appears to have grown since last year, going from $37.1 million in 2011 to $37.8 million in 2012. The number of employees listed also grew  -- from 454 last year to 468 in 2012.

White House officials did not immediately respond to a message seeking explanation of the growth.
