"Bush Beats LBJ in Federal Spending Nick Gillespie reviews a new study by the American Enterprise Institute that calculates President Bush "has boosted total inflation-adjusted discretionary spending in his first term by 35.1 percent. To put that in context, chew on this: LBJ -- the Texas legend who created the Great Society and, for all intents and purposes, the Vietnam War -- only boosted discretionary spending 33.4 percent. What's more, the gap between Bush and LBJ will only grow.... since the final outlays for fiscal year 2005 (the last budget signed in Bush's first term) aren't in yet." The great irony is that the conservative political movement was spawned in response to Lyndon Johnson's domestic policies. Now, it's leader, George W. Bush, may cause it's undoing. It's no wonder so many conservatives are turning on the president." politicalwire.com And still not an ounce of fat to cut according to DeLay. And you suggest that I drink some koolaid, LOL.
