How Big is the US Government and is THAT too big?

How big is our current Government? (The US Military plus the Civilian workers plus the Post Office) How many people is that? Is that too big? How does this compare to other countries? If you take away the US Military and the US Postal Service (which pays for itself) is the Civil Workforce too big? What would be the ideal size? How much does the Civil Workforce cost per year? If we fired them all would it balance the budget?
