WASHINGTON (AP) - Conservatives wait warily as President Bush makes final decisions about his election-year budget, three years into an administration on whose watch spending has mushroomed by 23.7 percent, the fastest pace in a decade.
While Bush has emphasized repeatedly the need to rein in spending, overall federal expenditures have grown to an estimated $2.31 trillion for the budget year that started Oct. 1. That is up from $1.86 trillion in President Clinton's final year, a rate of growth not seen for any three-year period since 1989 to 1991.
Linky
If you are really serious about increasing the size of the Federal Government, elect a Conservative Republican as President. Highest rate of government spending growth since 1989-1991, hummmm, who was President then? Oh, another Conservative Republican. Too bad these folks don't have the guts to tax the amount they spend. I guess it is easier to Borrow and Spend, as most Conservative Republicans do.
Vote Bush in 2004 if you believe that the Federal Government is too small and you would like to see its size increased.
If you don't think that is what you want you probably would do better looking elsewhere.
