...government grew more rapidly under Nixon, Reagan, Ford or Bush than it did under Clinton...

Your other points are well taken Mr. Browne. However, I would like to point a teeny tiny difference. Government grew more rapidly under Nixon, Reagan, Ford or Bush because of the DEMOCRAT controlled congress. We had deficit spending until the Repubs showed up. If you remember the first two years of Clinton, he pushed tax increases and tried to socialize America.

No excuses this time. How confident are you?

Thanks for addressing the issues!

Government grew more rapidly under Nixon, Reagan, Ford or Bush because of the DEMOCRAT controlled congress.

If that's the case, we should expect different results now?
