Hey Big Spender- Bush's Fault!

Why it really is GWB's fault- he really raised the bar on government spending of all types, showing the next regime what was possible. Thanks Alot! Didn't buy him any friends either...
-------------------------
Spending in Bush’s first year (FY2001) was $1.863 trillion, thus he presided over an 83-percent increase in overall federal spending, which includes defense, domestic, entitlements, and interest. Even without TARP and Fannie/Freddie, spending was up a huge 70 percent under Bush over eight years. By contrast, total spending under eight years of President Clinton increased just 32 percent. These are the overall increases in nominal dollars.
