During the last 40 years, Democratic administrations added to the federal government's payroll 31,000 civilian defense employees (Defense Department employees who aren't soldiers), and 49,000 non-defense employees - some growth in both categories. But Republican administrations have on balance subtracted 426,000 civilian defense jobs - and added 320,000 non-defense employees. That adds up to bureaucratic bloat more than six times that of the Democrats. The biggest slasher of federal non-defense payrolls was Bill Clinton. [Reason Magazine]
