A few quick facts. George W. Bush has:
increased federal spending on education by 60.8 percent;
increased federal spending on labor by 56 percent;
increased federal spending on the interior by 23.4 percent;
increased federal spending on defense by 27.6 percent.
And of course he has:
created a massive department of homeland security;
signed a campaign-finance bill he pretty much said he thought was unconstitutional (thereby violating his oath to uphold, protect, and defend the constitution);
signed the farm bill, which was a non-kosher piñata filled with enough pork to bend space and time;
pushed through a Medicare plan which starts with a price tag of $400 billion but will — according to every expert who studies the issue — go up a gazillion-bajillion dollars over the next decade;
torched Republican — and American — credibility on trade, in both agriculture and steel;
got more people working for the federal government since the end of the Cold War;
not vetoed a single spending — or any other bill, and he has no intention of eliminating a single department;
sold out like a fire sale at Filene's on Title IX, a subject I know a little about because my wife is the foremost expert in the universe on it;
pushed to send more Americans to Mars while inviting a lot more illegal immigrants to hang out here in America.
