"Under Bush, federal spending increases have been at the fastest rate in 30 years. Non-defense discretionary spending under Bush has grown by 35.7 percent, the highest rate of federal government growth since the presidencies of Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson."

Despite all his successes in the face of the Dem-Lib Media onslaught, this is still the one GLARING failure of the Bush 43 administration that puts him back into a similar Presidential ranking as his father. Reagan was far from a total success at minimalizing Federal spending, but he did much better than either Bush even during a VERY expensive Cold War.

Right On! Just guess how low we will succumb in the next election of this "Two-Party Cartel".
