TOTAL NUMBER OF FEDERAL EMPLOYEES, BY ADMINISTRATION
http://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversigh ... ince-1962/
Year........Exec Civilians..........Military..........Judicial and legislative..........Total Federal Employees
1977........2,840,000 ..........2,112,000......53,000...............................5,005,000 .....................Ford's last Budget
1981........2,806,000 ..........2,122,000......54,000...............................4,982,000 .....................Carter's last Budget Civilian shrank, military grew
1989........3,064,000 ..........2,168,000......60,000...............................5,292,000 .....................Reagan's last Budget
As % of population, Reagan's military SHRANK. Civilian employees - federal bureaucrats - grew by leaps and bounds.
Let's look at population. https://www.google.com/fusiontables/Dat ... #rows:id=1 Ford's last year was 220,239,425 people in '77. Carter's last year was 229,465,714 - a population growth of 4.189% during his presidency. Reagan ended 1989 with 246,819,230 people - a population growth of 7.57%. Reagan's military forces (see above) grew by an anemic 2.2% (Carter's only grew by half a point, but Carter was CUTTING civilians, not padding the government employment roster with bureaucrats).
While Reagan was growing the population by 7.57% and the debt by 300% and the military by 2.2%, he was growing the CIVILIAN side of government - the part that focuses on we the people - by a whopping 9.2%. The man who promised to shrink government - who told Americans that government was the problem and that he was going to get government out of their way - grew that government faster than the population it served grew. The debt grew, the economy grew, the federal government's control of education grew, the federal labor force grew. The only thing that grew slower than the population was the military.

Rather than argue with an idiot whether the policies of israel are GENOCIDAL, I will simply posit that the policy of bombing a small area where your own citizens are being held hostage you-know-not-where shows a pretty **** calloused attitude toward your citizens' lives.MackTheFinger » 23 Oct 2023, 8:13 pm » wrote: ↑ .

Anyone who says that it is happening right by Israel it is a fruitcake.

The attacks in Africa where a million were killed was a genocide.

But israel has one policy: take the land. **** the people - jew or muslim; take the LAND. They can still make ore jews - they cannot make more land.

It didn't kill me, so I guess it made me wronger.
True story - we had a visiting preacher, and my brothers and I, after sunday school, skipped church, and I took a **** on the visiting preacher's car. Right on the very top of it - I hung my *** off a tree limb to do it. I am 64, and I have laughed more at that memory than at any other. I was especially proud of the looks on the cheesy congregants' faces when they exited the church, glad-handing the visiting preacher, getting all dick-sucky with him, and then turning to confront my performance art.![]()
The stunned silence - oh, it was priceless. And the only adult in that group of church-turds who did not know IMMEDIATELY who the culprits were was my dear, sweet, innocent mother. Everyone else - including our stepdad - knew with an unshakeable confidence, based on long and painful experience, exactly which black fraternity contained the fellow who had shat on Brother Griswold's 71 Buick.
The looks of horror with which they rewarded my misdeed made me beam with pride. Deep inside, I knew that I was not a hero - I was just an ordinary kid with extraordinary mastery of his bowel. But my brothers had sat that same limb and strained themselves profitlessly - until I had climbed that tree, dropped trou, and filled the breach.
Whole story of evolving isn't in any theory of evolution. History rewrites events among active population that died already. then each generation gap re-interprets events based upon current events never same time previous events took place by current populations previous generation gaps.

What those numbers DO demonstrate is that Carter was a government-shrinking fiscal conservative and Reagan was a government-growing fiscal liberal.
It also shows we are not a representative democracy, because we are not represented.
Every reality of the historical humanity played, plays a role in organizing ancestral doubt transferred each generation gap alive. Nobody reproduces alone to sustain the 8 billion soles adapting here now dying to prove their intellectual soul lasts forever and nobody can prove them wrong using the facts justifying role playing cradle to grave in any court of laws ordering people to stay on message or else their replacements have their opportunities eliminated first before executed in public for not complying to "We say so.".Majik » 24 Oct 2023, 9:42 am » wrote: ↑ Reagan laid the ground work of the destruction of representative Democracy with his New Federalism .....
but not on purpose and not all by himself because each administration after Reagan's sought to erode individual state power while continually consolidating the Federal power of DC over individual state representation.
