This is such a retarded argument. If you didn't notice, there's a good chance it's because it never happened. Politicians lie all the time, as do cartoonists with obvious agendas, and only a fool takes them at their word.
Even if it did happen, it is not impressive when you actually look at the values.
Let's say they actually got rid of 426000 federal employees. That means about 5000 employees a month. Well, the federal government has 3000000 employees. 5000 a month is 0.16% of the federal workforce each month. I'm pretty sure you could hit that just by retirees alone.
