Pussyfoot- You get an A+ for clever word smithing and an F- for being wrong. The size of federal government has not decreased enough on the domestic side and has decreased too much on the defense side. That is my opinion and it is a result of interaction with the federal government as well as my policy.

The point here is that while the number of civilian DOD employees decreased, the size of the non-DOD part of the government increased. This increase is absolutely amazing given that the increased use of information technology should have led to a decrease in clerical govt jobs if the Fed govt had emulated what is going on in the private sector or other parts of the public sector. In my own university there has been a sharp decrease in clerical staffing during the last 8 years. So, all the reinvention of Govt propaganda is 100% smoke and mirrors BS from Al Bore.
