Bush's federal spending is actually about the same as Reagan's when viewed as a percentage of GNP (or GDP).

It's still way too high, and nobody in Washington seems to have any interest in lowering it.

Defense spending is one thing, but entitlements and pork are out of control, and that's now more our fault than that of the Dims.

"Bush's federal spending is actually about the same as Reagan's when viewed as a percentage of GNP (or GDP)."

That's really not a meaningful comparison.
