Government continues to grow, no matter what you might see or hear. It is way beyond control and likely cannot be stopped. And I can back up those statements with hard numbers.

Did you know the average salary of a government worker is $36 per hour, while the poor slob that actually works for a living in the private sector's average is only $24 per hour?

Can someone please explain to me why the number of government employees in education has increased by 22% over the last 10 years (to over 8.5 million), but the actual population of schools has only increased by 9%? And yet, the students with "high school diplomas" are dumber than ever?

And does anyone else see a problem with the idea that the number of people receiving welfare benefits has fallen 66% since 1994, but the number of government employees to administer that system has INCREASED?

(Numbers from The Cato Institute).
