LurkerMom: In his first weeks, Clinton ordered a 100,000-job reduction in government... This was largely driven by the Reinventing Government Initiative...

No, Clinton issued an executive order asking each government department or agency with more than 100 employees to cut at least 4 percent of its civilian positions over three years through attrition or “early out programmes”. About 250 career civil servants worked on the review and created recommendations with agency employees.

A year later in March 1994, Clinton signed HR 3345, the Federal Workforce Restructuring Act of 1994. The legislation passed by wide, bipartisan margins: 391-17 in the House and 99-1 in the Senate. Department of Defense, Central Intelligence Agency and the General Accounting Office employees were exempt.

The Clinton approach sought to be surgical in determining which employees could be eased out without compromising the government’s overall mission.

So, nothing like the current Musk-Trump purge.
