60 days, 60 stats - #18

Obama has ballooned the size of government in just 4 years!  Not if you go by the headcount; in that case he's shrunk it by several hundred thousand.  Please note the trend during George W. Bush's tenure (2000 - 2008) - pretty steady increase, even during the recession.

And how about government jobs? Everyone seems to hate the government and think it should shrink. So it might be viewed as good news that the government employs far fewer people than four years ago. (From the overall jobs perspective, of course, it's bad news).
