I'm Peter Serefine and this is the Liberty Minute for Wednesday, day 689 of 15 days to flatten the curve.

Yesterday I reported that there are 2.1 million civilian federal employees.  A critic pointed out that the Office of Personnel Management only reports 1.8 million not including the Postal Service.  So I was wrong, add the 630,000 postal employees and there are actually 2.4 million civilian federal employees, but wait, there's more.

Add the 1.4 million active-duty military and 4.1 million contractors and the total comes to 7.9 million salaries your tax dollars pay.

That is one federal employee for every 42 people in the private sector.

Maybe that is why the Convention of States just got the 17th state to join their movement.

Catch Clay Clark, organizer of the Reawaken America tour in the Liberty Lighthouse, tonight at 7 pm Eastern at Liberty-Lighthouse.com

Until tomorrow, Si vis pacem, para bellum.
