Hello??? Only Congress can spend $. Clinton was restrained by the Republican House.

Do you think Reagan would have signed all that stuff into law?

So why haven't they restrained Bush?

I admit, I find this distressing. When I read the headline I thought, "Yeah, but we're in a war right now and that means more spending,". It looks like the Cato Institute controlled for that, though. Crud.

Clinton was restrained by the Republican House.

So why hasn't Bush been restrained by a Republican House??? Face it, Bush is not even close to being a fiscal conservative. Exhibit A is that they he does not have a single supply-sider on his entire economic team. Of course, we knew all of this before the election so it shouldn't be a surprise.
