With imminent budget cuts coming, even with the debt ceiling raised, will Americans look back to 2008 as the year we peaked in government jobs, just as 2004-2005 was the period the real estate bubble peaked?

If you're talking about total federal employment, you're off by 40 years.
Counting all executive, legislative, and judicial branch employees, all Postal Office employees, and all U.S. military, 1968 was the year ... by a considerable margin over the total number of federal employees today.
Going by the decade, over last three, the 1980s saw the most growth in government jobs (12.9%) followed by 12.6% in the 1990s. The 2000s was on pace to be right there, until April 2009 (the last peak). Since then, the government payroll has shrunk half million. So, breathe easy, it is better now, not worse.
WTF are you talking about? Local maxima is well defined but your jibberish isn't. Einstein's Ghost lost quite a few dozen IQ points through the whole body to spirit transformation process.

I don't think it'll pop. Generally the government is hiring one new worker for every 2 leaving or retiring workers. It'll be gradual.

Apples are apples. Spaghetti is spaghetti. Fun is fun. Thanks for showing me the identity axiom. Anything new you'd like to teach me?
You're a genius.
I guess, your IQ capacity leads you to never complain about one form of government while always complaining about the other. Trust me, I couldn't do that, maintaining two standards at the same time for an institution. My IQ limits that.
