>> This happened while they were still at full employment. It's a perfect example that government spending doesn't expand because of need, it expands because tax revenues available are higher. <<

exactly.

gotta spend that surplus...if they didn't the taxpayers might suddenly wake up and wonder why their gov't is running a surplus while they are cutting and trying to make ends meet...always better for a gov't agency to go hat in hand for more funding...and they get away with it because there is no real oversight to spending..

i'm sure you remember the grace commission report <<gg>>

at the time it was determined that fully one third of tax receipts were going to fraud and waste....
