  • When Bill Clinton came to Washington as president, his Democratic administration used corporate know-how and the new internet to streamline the federal bureaucracy as part of the "Reinventing Government" push.

The article from KSAT discusses how former Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton both implemented significant government downsizing efforts. Clinton's "Reinventing Government" initiative in the 1990s aimed to streamline federal operations, reduce bureaucracy, and cut costs, ultimately saving billions of dollars. This initiative was led by Vice President Al Gore and involved cutting 16,000 pages of regulations, reducing the federal workforce by 346,000 positions, and saving taxpayers $137 billion over five years. The article highlights that while Trump's approach to downsizing was more aggressive and controversial, the underlying goal of reducing government size and expenditure has historical precedence with Clinton's efforts, which were praised for their bipartisan support and effectiveness in improving government efficiency.
