‘there are 500,000 fewer government workers since 2008.’

And not ONE of them has been missed by the general public. If we could get rid of a few million more it would be a good start.

‘there are 500,000 fewer government workers since 2008.’

I'm skeptical. Although there may be fewer people paid directly by the government, I'm sure the number of people who feed at the government trough (as consultants and corporate cronies) has increased.
