OMOLIVES, You say "But the target is 2015 employment levels with CIV FED employment with many/some of these agencies." I suggest you don't have a link for that, as who has seen the target of 2025 employment mentioned anywhere except in your post.
I have made a real effort to find it stated as you did. To no avail. Actually am a bit surprised you didn't used another defense of Trump and DOGE effort which has been used by others:
Clinton initiative cut over 377K federal jobs in the 1990s. It's not comparable to Trump's effort Social media posts claimed Donald Trump and Elon Musk had simply "learned from the master" in their attempts to cut government jobs.

That check was in -- Every DOGE rumor we've fact-checked so far Removing the mystery, story by story. Taija PerryCook .. https://www.snopes.com/collections/doge-rumors-collection/ .. which i got in trying to find some evidence in support of your 2015 target claim.
Bottom line the DOGE effort was a helter-skelter little planned and little considered about.
An effort by Trump to be able to say, "Hey, look at me. I am cutting waste. I am making your federal government smaller." A feckless effort.
