Hey, Big Spender
That is one of the latest accomplishments of Our Dear Embattled Leader in this Great National Agony we call his presiduncy. The lad has managed to outspend one of the classic spenders of American history, LBJ.
Helluva legacy George.
George W. Bush, despite all his recent bravado about being an apostle of small government and budget-slashing, is the biggest spending president since Lyndon B. Johnson. In fact, he's arguably an even bigger spender than LBJ.Unlike with LBJ however, the citizens of the United States have received little or no benefit from all his spending. But we have lost over 3800 good Americans in Iraq.
“He’s a big government guy,” said Stephen Slivinski, the director of budget studies at Cato Institute, a libertarian research group.
The numbers are clear, credible and conclusive, added David Keating, the executive director of the Club for Growth, a budget-watchdog group.
“He’s a big spender,” Keating said. “No question about it.”
Helluva legacy George.
