When people generally talk about the "size of the government" they don't mean the number of people that are hired by them, but rather the amount of power those people have, and the government in general has. Any government that has to govern over 300 million people will obviously be large, but it's whether they continually give themselves more power that is important.
Any sources for which parties increase the power of government? I saw an interesting graph earlier today which showed that Democrats more often raise the debt ceiling than Republicans.
