How Reagan grew the Federal Workforce

 
Federal work force, yearly
In a tribute to former President Ronald Reagan, the potential 2012 White House contender said leaders in Washington had lost sight of the values that made Reagan a Republican icon and a hero to conservatives -- a belief in limited government, low taxes and personal freedoms. Says Sarah
LBJ and Reagan blew up the federal workforce more than any other post war president.  It was Nixon, Carter who managed stop the LBJ catastrophe. The Tea Party needs to educate Sarah. Ms Bachmann are you listening?  Rand Paul gets it. The NRO crowd are admitted Communists. The increase under Obama is bad, and likely to get worse, but some of that was the Census.

Notice the other theme.  Clinton./Gingrich reduced central government with higher progressive taxes.  This is standard Theory of Minimal Emergent government, I am sorry if  Hayek's delusions are popped, but its true.
