Last I check on the BLS website, about one out of every 14 people in the US is a gov employee. Counts Fed, State, Local, full time, part time. They gave a total of about 21 million.
Well...since yours truly worked for the government for a dozen years, I can unequivocally certify that majority of government workers are not crooks and fraudsters. It is not their fault if they are hied and assigned unproductive jobs.
