The Federal government has had an increase of hiring mainly due to requirements for homeland security and for bolstering existing security forces to deal with terrorist threats. Some economists say this is not all that bad (which brings to mind aliens from a different universe) who might as well be from another planet for the economy is getting worse and everybody knows it (except them that is). The government is pouring billions into the drive to protect Americans from external and internal threats that are constantly testing the resolve of security forces. The federal government payroll has increased so much it has the budget of a small country and it shows no signs of slowing.
