I would maybe reduce federal employees by 10 percent. Iâd probably reduce their wages by 10 percent. The average federal employee makes $120,000 a year. The average private employee makes $60,000 a year. Letâs get them more in line, and letâs find savings. Letâs hire no new federal workers. Three days later, Boehner echoed Paulâs comments:
The vertebral column is composed of a series of 31 separate bones known as vertebrae. There are seven cervical or neck vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, and five lumbar vertebrae. The sacrum is composed of five fused vertebrae, and there are two coccygeal vertebrae which are sometimes fused (fig. 1). In the normal adult there are four curvatures in the vertebral column in an anteroposterior plane. These serve to align the head with a vertical line through the pelvis (fig. 2).
The sacrum is formed by the fusion of 5 (sometimes 6) vertebrae known as the sacral vertebrae named as S1 to S5. Initially they exist as separate vertebrae, and begin to fuse after the age of 18. The fusion completes between the ages of 25 to 33. The last segment of the vertebral column is a structure called coccyx or tailbone, and represents a vestigial tail in humans. It is formed by the fusion of four small vertebrae designated as Co1 to Co4.
