In fact, after adjusting for inflation, we found that spending in fiscal year 1998 (the first budget for which Huckabee was responsible) was actually $10.4 billion, while spending at the end of 2006 was $15.6 billion. That’s a big increase, but it’s a far cry from doubling state spending.

Whew! I was worried that Huck was a spender. He only increased spending by like 60%. That's phenomenal.

Psssst. I wouldn't really brag about this misstatement by the Thompson campaign. A 60% increase in STATE SPENDING is no better than doubling it. It's just a slightly slower speed to nanny-statism.

Look, we get you like Huck cause he's Baptist. Just admit that and quit pretending you're conservative.

Has anyone asked Huckabee whether he’s liked the way the new health program worked out?

Would it possibly matter to you, what he answered?

(Why ask?)
