Al,

I finally read that WSJ editorial... thanks. If anyone subscribes to WSJ.com, please post it here.

A chart from the article:

Profligate President
Average annual real increases in domestic discretionary spending.

Johnson 65-69 4.3%
Nixon 70-75 6.8%
Ford 76-77 8%
Carter 78-81 2%
Reagan 82-89 -1.3%
Bush 1 90-93 4%
Clinton 94-01 2.5%
Bush 2 02-04 8.2%

See a pattern?

A quote:

"Steve Moore of the Club for Growth calls this bill a pork-laden monstrosity worse than any ever produced when Congress was controlled by "tax and spend" liberals." They go on the list some of the pork, including $2 million for a golf awareness program in St. Augustine, FL.

This editorial from the WSJ (usually 100% in support of Republicans) is shocking. A must read.

John
