To cut government spending, Giuliani promised to replace only half of the federal workers expected to retire over the next eight to 10 years. He promised to retain the tax cuts put in place by the Bush administration. Those two actions, he said, would require that average Americans take more responsibility for their lives.

Anybody know some solid estimates for how many federal workers are scheduled/predicted to retire over the next decade? I'm sure there are pretty detailed estimates. I'd be curious to see some of the details sketched out on this one.
