    According to the article you posted, it took 6 months just for the review process to see what could be done. Then years later for that number to be reached. Even states in the article that both aren’t similar.

    The purpose isn’t just similar, it’s exactly the same: reduce the federal workforce.

    Your “argument” is that Clinton did it better, which is literally what I just said:

    trump won’t match those numbers, because Feds trusted the programs under Clinton. No one left in the Fed trusts trump to hold up his end of any programs.

    Under trump it’s been an absolute shit show with no one having any idea what is going on. Under Clinton it was expansion of existing programs after investigating the situation.

    Like, you’re saying I’m wrong but you’re agreeing with me and claiming I’m explaining it poorly?

    I don’t think that’s what happening here. So I’m going to take steps from it happening again later.
