Big-Government Bush

To the Editor (NYT 10/17)

Re "In Final Debate, Clashes on Taxes and Health Care'' (front page, Oct. 14):

In the Bush administration, taxes have been cut drastically on the theory that reduced federal revenue will lead to a shrinking federal government. Instead, the administration has supported new initiatives in education, in drug benefits, in homeland security, in the Iraq war and in the war on terror. Thus we have reduced revenue and caused a growing federal government.

You can't have it both ways. You can't be for lower taxes and bigger government and call yourself a fiscal conservative, which is what George W. Bush does.
