[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 626286, member: 2189"] More, Look across the decades and how over time things have gotten worse and worse and worse and then tell me if you see any intelligent life at all ever being in the WH to begin with? In principle I agree with your point but it's really nothing new at all in the first place. You think this game wasn't played before? With all the talk of conservative republicans about how they are the only ones to cut and limit gov't size and the illusion is boosted by democrats re-enforcing the lie by telling America that republicans are killing their gov't by cutting it, but the truth is under Bush, [URL='http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/09/business/09charts.html'][COLOR=red]the very opposite is true.[/COLOR][/URL] Even so true of the "Great Gipper" contrary to the public mythology snake oil sold by "The Gip's" religionists on both sides of the isle. Let's [URL='http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2001/0301.green.html'][COLOR=red]see[/COLOR][/URL] the serpent in the garden for what he really was! Or what does Bruce Bartlett, former Reagan advisor say? Would you be interested to know that in 1980' at the end of his Presidency, Jimmy Carter spent 27.9% of the national income which was a whooping amount. In 1988' at the end of his Presidency, Reagan was spending 28.7% of the national income and yet Reagan is painted as the great gov't cutter! Even under Reagan, the number of federal employees by 1988 had grown by 230k from it's 1980' number when Carter gave Gip and Nancy the house keys.

Did democrats or were they spreading the lie too just to re-inforce their own political [B][U]CON[/U][/B]struct? George Bush like his party's earlier illusions presided over nothing more than a socialization of the jobs market via a federal jobs program. And these new federal jobs, what new product did they sell to obtain revenue to pay for their existence? None!
