prepare to be shocked again


Bush is the biggest spender since LBJ

WASHINGTON — 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.

"He’s a big government guy," said Stephen Slivinski, the director of budget studies at Cato Institute, a libertarian research group.


One could point out that there's spending, and then there's pissing money down the drain, and then there's pissing away BEEEELLLIONS of dollars every month to actually phokk things up way da phokk worse than they already were... but I won't.
