Lots of govt jobs lost recently. Didn't help the economy short term.
The public employee sector has been narrowing steadily for a while now. Many cutbacks at the federal, state and local level. And, yes, all units of government are out-sourcing work to minimize wage and benefit costs (and, in many instances .... to increase productivity).
This logically explains why the mentally unhinged tea party keep whining about non-economic issues such as gays, contraception, and Obama's birth certificate.
And yet the right still wrongly claims spending is increasing. That just goes to show how completely untethered from reality the American right wing has become.
Which is precisely why the teabagger party was formed. They know they can't claim that Republicans are for smaller government, so instead teabaggers run on divisive social and religious issues.
GOP = social and religious conservatives. Fiscal conservatives? Not so much. That designation belongs to the Democratic Party.
does anyone really believe there are only 2.7 million govt. employees? come on. The govt. doesn't even know what the NSA budget is let alone how many people work there. Govt. contractors in the middle east outnumber military personnel. These are all bogus numbers we are being given.

there are over 4.4 million federal full time employees...and that does NOT count contractors
we are talking federal...not state or local governments

"The govt. doesn't even know what the NSA budget is"
What an absolutely stupid comment. Where do you think NSA gets it's money from, the money fairy?

Then explain why government spending is at record levels?
