The numbers for Bush are far, far worse. What is not taken into account is global welfare. I believe that this is not included in the categories mentioned. Also, cancelation of foreign debt is not being taken into account. Bush has canceled more foreign debt than LBJ could even dream about.
By far, Bush is the biggest global welfare Santa ever, and this Cato report does not even take that into account.
Republicans at one time = conservatives. This is why so many Republican faithful are stunned to the point of denial that the Republican leadership has gone so left that they are MORE LEFT THAN LEFTIST RADICALS like LBJ and Ted Kennedy.
FACT: Manslaughter Kennedy dicated how much to spend for Education in the first Bush Budget. Bush took Kennedy's figure and piled even more billions onto the final figure, even though Bush knew that the Department of Education was a corrupt, broken and dysfunctional department, and even though Bush knew his beloved school vouchers would be shot down in flames.
George Bush is no conservative. Every day, new facts bear that out. It is a bitter pill to swallow, and many loylaists here refuse to accept that reality.
I agree! Thanks for this post!
You cannot argue facts in the face of a personality cult.
When Bush was asked directly about whether the Depts of Education, HHS Agriculture etc were constitutional, he answered, "those issues are settled". That was in 2000 before he was elected the first time. His budgets in Texas were huge, he was a big spender from the word go. The only way he got a rep as a conservative, is that the Madison Ave types spun his candidacy while he was guv.
Are you saying that George Bush is a Posuer, a Shill and the congressional democrats secret weapon.?... and not basically but exactly a RINO.?.

Yeah, I am starting to think that. What do you think his purpose really is? Continuing with the Bush family plan to take over the world?
