While I agree people like to forget what was done in the past by "their" party, I would like to point out a slight difference. Clinton's EO was to happen over 3 years with the departments making the personnel decisions, not "overnight" indescrimently, with no insite into the impact of those losses. We are lossing alot of good workers, while the ones that really need to be removed are just riding this out, like they have always done.
Again, I agree the reduction needs to happen. I just don't think it is being done the right way for it truly to be successful.
