The REAL truth is that Bush has reduced the rate of growth of the Federal budget from what it was when Clinton left office. That is fact. Annual growth in federal budget discretionary spending has been in double digits (11.8 percent) for the past three years. Contrast that with an average annual growth rate during Clinton's eight years of 2.4 percent. Moreover, discretionary spending -- subject to annual legislative appropriations unlike entitlement programs like Social Security or Medicare -- grew only 5.6 percent in Clinton's last budget year, not the 15 percent claimed by the President.
