No , Republicans didn’t give us big government the media lied and said they did but it was democrats who with a total media monopoly built this big government in the previous 100 years before 1994 when Republicans in 1994 finally gained a bare majority.
The media slandered Republicans every second of every single day for 8 years from thousands of media outlets, every newspaper, every TV in every American’s living room.
The trouble is most government educated people and liberals like you rabscuttle don’t have the background to understand what the media did to them(brainwashed them) and how the media slandered republicans.
For example the media called “spending “ for 2 wars ,the media made that out to be “government spending” or “Republicans increasing government spending”
1. spending for 2 wars may show an increase in the dollar value but that was not really “republicans increasing government spending” or “republicans growing government” and the media used this to turn conservatives against the GOP
2.Ditto for inflation. Inflation does not equal increases in government spending but the media used the dollar value to say “Republicans greatly increasing government spending”
when the government hadn’t grown but just the value of the dollar had decreased so something cost 2 trillion after 10 years instead of 1 trillion but it was the same size. But the media went crazy “oh look at that Bush increased government spending (government size) by $1 trillion dollars in 8 years” blah blah blah more lies. yet most people just see that and don’t know the media is not taking inflation, and spending for wars, and population growth into account just to make Republicans out to be the party of big government so that conservatives would turn against the GOP>
ok i have about 3 to 100 other explanations about what the media was doing but of course brainwashed people won’t believe reason or don’t understand how inflation , wars etc does not equal government growing.
Medicare Part D
Amnesty
Restrictions on free speech
Nation-building
Expansion of foreign aid to Africa
Cap-and-tax
No Child Left Behind
All of the above were signature Republican initiatives, in many cases co-sponsored with Democrats.
Shall I continue?
“ok i have about 3 to 100 other explanations about what the media was doing but of course brainwashed people won’t believe reason or don’t understand how inflation , wars etc does not equal government growing.”
So... what you are saying is that NCLB and Medicare Part D were both due to monetary inflation and not growth of government. LOL.
