Anyone know what the percent increase is over last year?
I wonder if most people got raises equal to that amount.
(I seriously doubt that).
Good thing we elected a conservative. </sarcasm>
However, Clinton's final budget, FY 2001 was $1.8 trillion, meaning that for Bush's 7th budgetary year (his first was 2002), he has increased spending 62% above what he had when he came into office, or nearly 9% per year, if you do a clean average.
Conservative my ass. He's grown government larger and faster than LBJ!
