“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.”

1. As long as it's for war or war-related.

He doesn't spend anything on the American people, unless he has to. And even then, it's not spent efficiently.

Who thought the man could possibly know what he's doing, given his history? :shrug:

2. Facts don't match the headline

The stats show that Bush had the greatest GROWTH in spending, not the MOST spending.

Why do people fall for this shit?

3. Except the president can't spend anything

unless it's passed by Congress. I think we have to kick our majority in the pants and have them authorize spending on the correct things.

4. And he's buying everything on credit!!! nt
