But what are the allocations for? This looks like growth rate of about 5.5% per year so if you figure in an inflation rate of about 3% then the gain is about closer to 2.5% over 7 years. Also, have there been any tax cuts and has the budget produced a surplus?

Huh...that doesn't matter. A conservative reduces spending. A moderate keeps spending in line with inflation. A liberal increases spending at a greater rate than inflation. Jeb Bush is just another liberal Republican wacko.
