You can read the Cato reports yourself. Just a google away. I’d link or post but its PDF.
“Mike Huckabee? As governor, he never saw a tax increase he didn’t love. He presided over a massive increase in state spending, including an expansion of Medicaid, and approved increases in the sales, income, and cigarette taxes. On its annual governor’s report card, Cato gave him an “F” for fiscal policy. Most Democratic governors received higher grades.
As a presidential candidate, Huckabee has been no better. Not only has he failed to call for spending cuts, he actually wants to increase spending on a variety of programs, from education to infrastructure. He even wants the federal government to fund art and music programs in the nation’s schools.”

I asked you about your example, but you threw more muck about Huck.
I want you to do some of the real work, here.
What was that exemplary governor’s name, again? What were the budgets at beginning and end? What years?
