Something like 1 in 10 people is employed by the government (state, federal, or local) directly, countless more indirectly.
The .gov actually is large, in the strictest sense of the word.
- jared314 13y agoI believe you are speaking past my point. The total size, in number of people employed, does not directly relate to capability. The US government can do with 10 people, what previously required 100 or 1,000 people in the recent past. Total control of the population is no longer required to obtain total surveillance. So, the difference now is how it no longer requires a "large" government to do it.
- angersock 13y agoThat is true, but again, the government is large on top of that.
