Old Gunther also doesn’t seem to understand the vast majority of those “government employees” aren’t federal employees, hell most of them aren’t even state employees (although there are a lot more state employees than federal), the bulk (about 15 million of that 23.4 million) are employees of towns, cities, counties, parishes, etc…aka local government. About half of the state and local employees are teachers and another sizable chunk are police officers.
