Gore and the Federal budget

I've noticed one of the biggest arguments in favor of voting for George Bush is his alleged antipathy (aside from his own baseball deals) to big government.

I found this in today's NYTimes editorial page:

"The Bush campaign cited figures this week to show that the Gore program would raise federal spending as a percentage of national income, from 17 to over 21 percent. The Gore program would head in the opposite direction. Federal spending as a percentage of national income would fall, from about 18 percent to less that 17.5 percent by 2010, the lowest since the mid-1960's. That can hardly be described as big government run amok."

The Times is a liberal newspaper but it pays close attention to the facts and the details of the campaign.

So you can vote your prejudices "Dems are for Big Government" or you can vote the facts which are that Gore is hardly a big spender.

In the end we will all learn about the facts, first hand, especially if Mr. Bush is elected and he goes ahead with his plans for Social Security.
