Count me in. I am fed up to here with republicrats. For Republican Governors, Spending Isn't a Dirty Word By DANA MILBANK Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL When President Clinton proposed his budget this month, Republicans in Congress assailed him for returning to free-spending ways. But another group of Republicans has reason not to cast stones. The nation's governors, two-thirds of them Republican, are recommending 1998-99 budgets that make Mr. Clinton's 3.9% increase look downright thrifty. . . . But the tax cuts and reserves aren't enough to satisfy some fiscal conservatives who feel betrayed. "A lot of these governors we really trumpeted a few years ago for being tightfisted have really gone into this big spending mode," says Stephen Moore, a budget analyst with the libertarian Cato Institute. "It's almost as if these Republican governors have become Clinton New Democrats." I love it when the fund raisers call, poor bastards.
