Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Note that this claim is partially true and partially false.
2, Explain that this claim is partially true because the total number of government employees (including federal, state, and local) has indeed increased considerably in recent decades. There are now more than 24 million government employees in the United States.
3, Explain that this claim is partially false because the increase only reflects the number of state and local government employees, when those who claim that government is growing are usually referring to federal employees. While the number of state and local government employees has skyrocketed, the number of federal employees has remained fairly constant. In fact, the percentage of the U.S. workforce that works for the federal government has actually been shrinking.
