Most analysts differentiate between active duty military and civilian full time employees.

You have to go back and do that first.

But the contention was the federal bureaucracy was in a state of runaway bloating ~ yet my contention was it has been remarkably stable over a very long period of time ~ and most of that is due to extensive computerization.

Obama doesn't know that ~ but he's the guy who thinks we still do "shovel ready" stuff in this country!

And as far as playing with the numbers is concerned the professor is misrepresenting the numbers and drawing unwarranted conclusions and you called me a liar ~ but you tried to do it nicely.

Nice doesn't count when it comes to internet insults.

Revenge will be exacted at some point. You won't know when, but it will.

I’ve provided the numbers and they don’t lie. There has been a ~60% increase in the federal non DoD workforce. That is the government’s own numbers. You can dance around all you like, but facts are facts. The fact that you cite ‘extensive computerization’ in the face of a vastly expanded workforce means each member has managed to not increase in productivity at all in spite of the fact that productivity in every other sector has been incredibly improved by computerization.

The professor is spot on and you are a liar. You misrepresent facts and play bait and switch games. You might as well be a politician.

Ooh, internet tough gut. I’m just shaking in my boots now.
