re: But even considered in isolation that hardly means "the era of big government is over" was a remotely truthful or accurate statement.

Maybe he expected the Dems to stay in power, not the free spending neo's.

re: Most of all Clinton increased regulation.

Can you be specific.

re: Rather than having the federal government pay for some idea he wanted to push, he just forced others to take on the cost, government expanded, it just expanded in a different way.

That's BS. Expansion = spending; that's the way it works, unless you want to claim Clinton made government more efficient. What "different way" did he expand government?

re: That isn't a defense of Clinton, or a refutation of my arguments about him.

Everything is relative. Clinton was the most fiscally conservative President since Reagan. Probably including Reagan.

re: Bush is far from perfect here, but at least he has a better record here than he has on government spending.

So he's bad on regulation but horrendous on spending? Yet you support him!?! Over Clinton??? Who balanced revenue and spending?

re: (Bush) He was from my perfect IMO on spending but he had a much better record on spending than he did on taxes or regulations.

So now Clinton is bad because he kept government growth down, but Bush is less than perfect because he grew government more than any President in recent memory???

re: Neither one of them was that good in terms of reigning in regulations but Clinton was worse. I can't think of any recent president that has really gotten control of the regulatory state, Bush is probably better than average but the average is so bad that "better than average" doesn't mean much.

You are so full of partisan crap you can smell it reeking from the thread.

Bush is the most liberal, undisciplined spender of my lifetime, or your lifetime. You know it. You've just got your nose stuck so far up your partisan prejudice you can't admit it.

Spin away... it's not worth reading your posts anymore.
