 Reminder: Bush Is No Fiscal ConservativePosted on Nov 20, 2006
Federal spending is up 40 percent since President Bush took office. So, what are Bush’s true fiscal priorities? Well, to paraphrase Bill Maher, he gives a lot to Paris Hilton types, and he spends even more
Newsmax: Federal spending in fiscal year 2006 increased by a whopping 9 percent—the largest rise since 1990—and has risen more than 40 percent since President Bush took office. The most recent rise far outpaces inflation—the Consumer Price Index is up only 1.3 percent in the past 12 months. “The greatest scandal in Washington, D.C., is runaway federal spending,” Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) said after the midterm elections. Advertisement Previous item: Speaking of Iran...
