Washington Times:  “The era of big government has returned with a vengeance, in the form of the largest federal work force in modern history.  The Obama administration says the government will grow to 2.15 million employees this year . . . . Most of the increases are on the civilian side, which will grow by 153,000 workers, to 1.43 million people, in fiscal 2010.”
