Sen. Rand Paul embarrasses himself on TV, then makes it worse

"...the 143,000 number Paul quoted excludes federal postal workers. ThinkProgress reports that if you include federal postal workers, federal employment only went up by only 27,000 since December of 2008.
And, state and local budgets are deeply intertwined with federal spending.  To exclude those numbers from the discussion is, well, disingenuous!"
