Size of Government
Host Bob Edwards talks to Paul Light, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of a new report about the true size of government. Light says claims about the shrinking size of federal government from the last two administrations are misleading. He says traditional figures don't include the millions of contractors doing government work, and argues the American people should be told the truth about the size of a federal workforce needed to "deliver the promises we make."
