I think that was mentioned in the article, if I recall correctly (read it yesterday so already may have forgotten some). I think it said they were basically the same in essence but big differences: was jointly implementation path agreed by outgoing R-Prez & incoming D-prez (bipartisan, by committee of sorts) who agreed to not directly influence decisions/oversight but leave that with more independent FED & agreed to limited use/duration(s); I recall the magnitude & nature of actions overall were less than now; also didn't have factor of a highly questionable POTUS gaining undue influence, one who has demonstrated absolute self-focus to do anything for 'lection & ree-lection. scary.
