I don't dispute the numbers, but I do dispute that Nixon-Bush-Bush are Marxists...44 years of RAT controlled Congress and all the entitlements that have long term guarantees have influenced that chart more (not exclusively) than any President could...it was RR who stated repeatedly that The President 'can't spend a dime'.

There is a lot more to fulfilling the dreams of Karl Marx, Lenin, Stalin, et al, than just social spending in a representative republic.

Don't get me wrong, I thing all of that is big bloat, big waste, and leaves us one tick away from socialism.

If you check the percentage increases and compare them to Carter, JFK and Scumbag, you will find that the percentage increases for the HR Superfunction are greater for these Republican presidents than for those Democrat presidents.

Also, even during the Democrat presidents, we often had Congress (or at least the House or Senate), controlled by Republicans.

We have to say--at the very least--that Republicans have done nothing to stem the tide of rising statism in America since Truman/Eisenhower (except for that American hero Ronald Reagan).

Contrary to your opinion, the facts show that Nixon, Bush and Bush have been bigger Marxists than Scumbag and Carter.
