In 1937, the US government had 100 agencies.
Today, one estimate says that 1370 agencies eat out our hearts and control our liberties.
This site says more than 2000: http://www.ushistory.org/gov/8b.asp
Wikipedia says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_agencies_in_the_United_States
The Government doesn't know. Even the CBO and the GAO don't know: http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/03/the-government-has-no-idea-how-many-agencies-it-has/
This piece of government thinks it knows: http://www.usa.gov/directory/federal/
And too many of them have armed agents: http://www.theblaze.com/contributions/bite-the-bullet-weve-got-too-many-agencies-with-armed-agents/ "There are now 73 federal agencies that have armed officers, often called
“special agents.” And all of these agencies now cordon off and enforce a
federal fiefdom of the more than 4,500 criminal laws at the federal
level and thousands of additional regulations that have sprung up in
recent decades." At least 25,000 officers.
And too many employees? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2466363/posts
For 2008: "Number of Full-Time Federal Employees - 2,518,101 Part-Time - 250,785
Full-Time State - 3,818,577 Part-Time - 1,451,002 Full-Time Local -
11,039,250 Part-Time - 3,383,976
TOTAL - 22,461,69"
