My federal budget check shows that FY 2007 is $2.77 TRILLION dollars.

Bush also gets to commission the FY 2008 and FY 2009 federal budgets. FY 2009 could see us close to $3 trillion for a budget. FY 2002 (Bush's first budget) was indeed $2 trillion, but if FY 2009 is in the realm of $3 trillion, then that will mean that Bush and a [mostly] Republican Congress has presided over a 50% increase in the size of government.

These aren't DNC talking points. These are solid facts.

The key word is IF, and 50% is still less than Reagan's spending record...making your original statement a big stinking pile of Barbara Streisand. Thank you for playing.
