Re: ""President Bush has presided over the largest overall increase in inflation-adjusted federal spending since Lyndon B. Johnson. Even after excluding spending on defense and homeland security, Bush is still the biggest-spending president in 30 years. ...Total government spending grew by 33 percent during Bush’s first term. The federal budget as a share of the economy grew from 18.5 percent of GDP on Clinton’s last day in office to 20.3 percent by the end of Bush’s first term." Guess that pretty well proves that there ain't no Fiscal Liberals like Presidents from Texas! (Wonder what's in the water down there that makes them imagine that guns AND butter, tax loopholes AND pork is the right way to run a railroad?)
