Well, that shows that the government has certainly become more productive at spending money (they spend much more money, relative and absolute, with only a few more employees), but I'm not sure I see how how a 17% increase in the relative size of government is a repudiation of the idea that government has become too big.
It isn't evidence of it either, but I don't how your first two numbers have much connection to your third in reaching your conclusion.
