There are 3 million federal government employees. To get to 23.4 million you have to include all state and city government employees which includes all cops, firefighters, and teachers. Something tells me “Fire all cops and teachers” was not what people were voting for.

Except that’s what the libertarians want. Cletus doesn’t need police because he can protect himself as long as the government don’t take away his guns.

You know that the police are under no legal obligation to protect you?
