After all, in inflation-adjusted terms, Clinton had overseen a total spending increase of only 3.5 percent at the same point in his administration. More importantly, after his first three years in office, non-defense discretionary spending actually went down by 0.7 percent. This is contrasted by Bush's three-year total spending increase of 15.6 percent and a 20.8 percent explosion in non-defense discretionary spending.

Poll shows that 66% think it is unacceptable to increase the federal deficit in order to pay for the war in Iraq.

Half of Republicans (and 48% of conservatives) are willing to incur a larger deficit to finance the war; only 17% of Democrats and 27% of Independents find this acceptable.
