Was Scott Brown telling the truth about Health Care? Not really! Part 1

My new United States Senator Scott Brown is all sworn in, and rolling up his sleeves to get to work.  Only twelve days after his stunning upset victory over Martha Coakley in the Massachusetts special senate election Brown made the rounds of the Sunday talk shows last week.

How did he do? On the January 31 edition of This Week with Barbara Walters he encouraged President Obama to put a freeze on federal position hires and raises because, he said, “as you know, federal employees are making twice as much as their private counterparts.”

This just doesn’t sound right to me, and it didn't sound right to the Web site PolitiFact.  Here's what they had to say:
