Veronique de Rugy and Tad DeHaven of Cato Institute on 'Conservative' Bush Spends More than 'Liberal' Presidents Clinton, Carter:
The Bush administration's newly released budget projections reveal an anticipated budget deficit of $450 billion for the current fiscal year, up another $151 billion since February. Supporters and critics of the administration are tripping over themselves to blame the deficit on tax cuts, the war, and a slow economy. But the fact is we have mounting deficits because George W. Bush is the most gratuitous big spender to occupy the White House since Jimmy Carter. One could say that he has become the "Mother of All Big Spenders."
Yep, but its all Clinton's fault. Or some other sorry excuse that the Republicrats are peddling these days. The Emperor has no clothes. Really, he should put them back on. Or get a tan. Yuck.
