Sorry, but this is not totally true...... the number of employees is an off
way of measuring the size of the government. As it is, the US is
employing less GI's, and also is hiring *a lot* more contractors. Toss
the contractors back into the mix, and the government still looks as big as
average.....
The true measure of government size is percent of GDP, and that has
continued its steady upward climb.
