Into the stratosphere; leaving inflation way, way behind.
Let me suggest something novel here - try making at least one post not reeking of dishonesty.

It is absurd and intellectually indefensible to pretend that higher tax revenues makes wild spending conservative. Just like the last twenty times you tried pushing that nonsense.
Every normal budget increases every year, including yours. Unless, as is quite possible based on your inferior thinking capacity, you are not successful. Responsible people, and cities, spend within the available surplus. As did Rudy, in contrast to irresponsible New York mayors before him.

Growth. Learn about it sometime. Successful economies grow. Period. As did New York City. Your posts DEFINE dishonesty, since you refuse to disclose the full economic picture. If you understand the fiscal economic success of Ronald Reagan, you will acknowledge the foundational fiscal conservative fact of the 1980s: revenues to the treasury virtually doubled - due to tax cuts and pro-growth policies. The precise thing happened under Giuliani. Revenues poured in, due to tax cuts, business growth, population growth, increased economic activity. This is simply the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Your posts simply do not tell the whole truth. There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of Giuliani’s record, but this isn’t one of them, not by a long shot.
Government growth. Let me again suggest something novel here - try making at least one post not reeking of dishonesty.
Show our back-and-forth to any conservative economist you can think of and then get back to me. If you don’t know any, try Walter Williams, who is a friend of mine, as is Steve Moore, and Tom Sowell. I will contribute $500 to Free Republic if any of the three disagree with me.
The more that normal people (as opposed to the abusive, frothing-mouthed lunatics that you increasingly find here) see of him, the more they like him. That, in turn, is sending the nutters to further heights of lunacy.
Why? You want even more people to read your dishonesty and promotion of wild government spending increases?
He has a lot of good ideas and he will implement them.
Giuliani wants energy independence - “sell it to them.”

Giuliani: Consider More Offshore Oil
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1812191/posts
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday said everything has to be considered if the United States wants to break its reliance on foreign oil, including more drilling off Florida’s coast.
Calling the energy supply a major domestic problem, Giuliani said the nation needs to focus on nuclear power production and renewable energy sources. In the meantime it also needs to see what oil can be tapped, he said.
“Energy independence means everything has to be open for discussion,†Giuliani said when asked about offshore drilling. “The idea of having more oil under our command, so to speak, or within our orbit probably for some period of time is going to be important. The ultimate goal, however, should be renewable sources of energy.â€
2002 was Rudy's last budget, not 2001.
BTW, 2001 was a catastrophic year in NYC.
Everthing?
Paging Algore.
"By investing in these energy-efficient cars and technologies – by encouraging their purchase and their use – we can cut America’s reliance on foreign oil, which will mean lower prices at the gas pump, not just in the near-term, but in the long-term." --Algore
Because I'm right, and you're wrong, and I'm not afraid to put my analysis to rigorous test by any conservative economic expert.
They'll all tell you the same thing: you can't look at spending in a vacuum, because it's dishonest.
Which you are.
Go ahead. Or is this just more of your dishonesty?
And is it to be successful in life?
If I were dishonest, I wouldn’t suggest putting my comments to the test. I have no fear of contradiction. Zip, zero, nada.
All that spending was between 9/11/2001 and 12/31/2001?
Source, please.
Correction- Is it BAD to be successful in life?
You are, you did. I'm calling your bluff.
Do you mean that any other Republican candidate would not welcome their support or money?
