To show government growth you have to show a significant increase in the number of government agencies or of government workers. but I guess that is beyond you. Anyone can show the dollar amount which has no validity because of inflation, population growth, military spending ,population growth etc. anyone can spin and play with numbers to show all kinds of lies. There are 3 kinds of lies, lies , damn lies and statistics. That's why i said for you to simply show how the number of agencies tripled or how the number of government workers tripled since you lied and said Republicans tripled the size of government and that Bush grew the government more than anyone ,FDR blah blah blah. yeah right all lies. All you have to do is that the number of government employees tripled per population to back up your lie but i disproved your lie by showing that graph that shows the number of government workers decreased not tripled like you said wrongly:
