“When Johnson took the tiller in New Mexico in 1995, the budget stood at $4.397 billion. When he left in 2003, it had grown to $7.721, an increase of 7.29 percent a year.”

Incorrect. He shrunk the government, reduced taxes and INCREASED REVENUE to the state. More money to spend? Absolutely, but the size of the government actually shrunk.
