My source was the Wall Street Journal for the figures I cited. I guess I can't dispute the link you sent though I didn't bother to read it since it was just way too much information to deal with right now. I have no reason to disbelieve the Journal's figures however, and the 21.6% I cited was actually a figure from 1998 and 1999, not 1994. They also recently cited the 17% figure for current spending levels.
Anyway, I don't know what to make of the disparity. Maybe I, you or us are misinterepreting something in the data we saw. Perhaps later if I have time I will sort through that PDF file you linked to in order to make heads or tails of it.
However, if spending went down as a percent of GNP under Clinton, it wasn't through spending discipline, that's for sure. It was through the rise of the GNP that the relative portion of spending went down.
This whole act was presented as if it was real commentary by concerned citizens just airing their disappointment with our President and Commander-in-Chef.
It was a presentation of sentiment orchestrated and conducted by the Democrat Party who facing the unignorable fact that they have no platform or even remotely recognizable agenda for moving our nation forward have undertaken a silly-assed hodge podge based entirely upon HATRED.
Please note well and vote Republican on all matters in the future,
