Saying that Dean is a fiscal conservative is like saying that pigs can fly. Here are the facts.
Four times during his governorship his budget increases exceeded the gross state product (GSP).
In 1995, Vermont’s GSP Growth was 1.7%, but State Spending Growth was 5.3%
In 1998, Vermont’s GSP Growth was 5.1%, but State Spending Growth was 8.1%
In 1999, Vermont’s GSP Growth was 5.3%, but State Spending Growth was 13.4%
In 2000, Vermont’s GSP Growth was 5.6%, but State Spending Growth was a whopping 23.7%
and also the link to go with it.
http://www.vermontgop.org/fact_check_dean.shtml Vermont is smaller than most cities in the US. Its population is mostly white, liberal, and wealthy. SO to compare Dean to the common man is like comparing apples and oranges.
So I am guessing you are voting for Dean..:)
That's not much different than GWB's record of fiscal conservaticsm.
