Al Gore, Tipper Gore Separating After 40 Years Of Marriage

Those govt jobs cut in the Fed govt workforce were overwhelmingly from the Defense Dept., and they had nothing to do with any streamlining championed by Gore, they were from the BRAC processes performed over the course of both the previous Bush admin and Clinton's. His "taking on" govt waste produced NOTHING, except a photo op with the aforementioned forklift.

======================================



By 2000, Gore's Reinventing Government initiative saved $137 billion, eliminated 16,000 pages of regulations, eliminated 640,000 pages of redundancies in internal rules, and reduced the federal workforce by more than 350,000 (down to the size it was when JFK was President).

All of government's work force was reduced -- The EPA, Dept of HHS (by 5%), Dept of Housing & Urban Development (by 25.8%), GSA (by 31.5%), DoD (by 25%, and that was from downsizing the size of the military), Office of Personnel Management (by 48%), with the Justice Department growing (as a result of hiring new prison guards).

You've got to be a whacked-out, extreme far-right fringe conservative disinterested in facing facts to believe Clinton and Gore were liberals, or big-spenders, or into increasing government -- Both were fully on board with privatization, deregulation, and corporatization of America, much to the consternation and condemnation of knowledgeable liberals.
