Is Paul trying to trap me?

Like this post from Krugman.  He implies that we should ignore the census peak to the far right.  If we ignore that then we are left with a 20% rise in federal employment.  I think I am supposed to fall into a trap which he later springs when he shows local and state government employment dropping.

OK, trap me.

 Right on cue

What can I say? How about this, is an agglomeration of workers centered in the Washington DC area a better equilibrium? No, Paul, most of the states and localities are going broke precisely because the resources go to Washington and the mandates go to the states.
