Perversely, the Bush administration's spending was not directed to items supported by public opinion. Think stem cell research. Think school funding. The school funding was so inadequate that it was not possible to fund the changes required by no-child-left-behind, so numerous states revolted and tried to back out of the program. Think FDA food inspections, which has been defunded by Bush. Does the public wants less government interference in the food and drug supply? Not at the cost of contaminated food and drugs. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Sort of like democracy in reverse. This sort of thing can give government spending a bad name. One might suspect that Bush was not elected by a majority of the people. jmo.

p.s. it was not just the Bush team; a lot of congressional Republican's help was part of the equation.
