re: Bush spends more than Clinton, who spent more than Bush Sr., who spent more than Reagan who spent more than Carter... Relative to revenue? This is not rocket science, it's basic budgeting. re: I won't support the Re publican's overspending any more than I support the Democrat's overspending. But the issue was "tax and spend Democrats" supposedly being a myth. Its far from that. It is a myth. Both Bush 1 and Reagan raised taxes (Reagan after he cut them, and realized the damage he was doing to the country). Kennedy cut taxes. Clinton "slowed the growth of government", dramatically... one of the things was a historic reforming welfare. Bush passed one of the biggest new entitlements since Roosevelt. The myth is that there is a difference between Reps and Dems. The biggest difference between politicians is the pragmatic (what benefits the people) and the ideological (what looks good to the base). The parties are just multi-level marketing schemes. You have to look for a few decent people... not expect a party to produce them.
