 Yet Clinton cut the size of government.

 Looking at the president's branch, the excutive branch, from the
 federal budget history files. These are civilian employees, for
 military personel I had to go to the stat abstract. Which is not
 listed here. So, DOD is civilian DOD employees, and civilian
 side is civilian agencies.

 Nixon/Ford reduced the number of fed employees, but mostly in
 the DOD, they increased the number of civilian side employees.

 Carter did the same, but in smaller numbers.

 Reagan increased both.

 Bush I reduced the DOD, but increased the civilian side. The
 total went down a bit.

 Clinton reduced both.

 Bush II increased both, the DOD by 4000, and the civilian side
 by nearly 100,000.

 I wanted to check those numbers, to see how they came out
 including active duty military. I went to the stat ab, 2009, and
 found about 5000 fewer military in 2007 than in 2001. IOW, in
 the middle of the war on terror we have fewer military personel?

 That needs further looking into.
