520			_aGovernment is big business in the United States. There are almost 80,000 governments in the country, and together they collect revenues which amount to one-third of the gross national product.' Contrary to popular impression, however, state and local governments in the aggregate are much larger than the federal government, by two important measures: (1) Most of the money spent by government for goods and services is spent by state and local governments, not the federal government; the former spent _192 billion in 1974, compared to _116 billion spent by the federal government.? (2) State and local government employees number 11.6 million, almost one-fifth of the civilian work force and four times as large as the federal nonmilitary work force. Between 1954 and 1974 their numbers more than doubled-but the payroll increased more than sevenfold.
