Is government growing or shrinking during the Bush administration?

Not including the costs of Medicade, Medicare and Social Security, the answer is that government is shrinking. If you factor those above items, then the answer is that government is growing. Now, the above stated exceptions are currently required by law. So a more OBJECTIVE question that should be asked is -- is the government growing or shrinking during a time period where the D's are in some form of control of government?

People earn Medicare to some degree, then they still pay a premium; regular Social Security is earned, Medicaid is a handout and should be stopped, because of abuse if for nno other reason.
