yes if you go to the actual article via the link, i believe the last line of the story indicates it is from all levels of gov.
Quite right. State and local governments have had to cut back because of declining taxes. The federal government doesn’t have to.
Ah, thanks. Seems pretty meaningless, since you know those numbers will only be used in the context of the size of the federal government. I bet that if you factor out state and local government, as well as DoD workers, the size of the fedguv is bigger than ever.
