LOL, oh my dear Arthur. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Yes it is simple math. But you and Cosmic like to take whatever comes from a Republican source, no matter how bizzare, and accept it as proof. The fact is just because the government hired 50k new workers it does not follow that government headcount increased by 50k people. Because it ignores attrition. And that is exactly what Cosmic's article did. And here is the problem for you, which has been previously pointed out to you, that your claims by BLS numbers don't prove out your claims. Government is shrinking under President Obama. In order to try to support your claims you have fudge the numbers. Unfortunately for you, that may work in dittohead and Tea Bagger circles, but it doesn't play outside those circles.
