So you have no numbers. And the numbers I posted, old as they were, show growth higher than 3%.
OMB generates this report and it is the most current report.
And it included no actual numbers. Glad we cleared that up.
The original report is numbers. It is not a break down like the Heritage report which it concedes is a projection even in the historical numbers.
In the OMB report offered just six months ago [I gave you the most current one originally] it is noted
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2009/pdf/09msr.pdf
that the President proposed reduction in growth to 1%. This means that spending limits at this level were not accepted.
Keep in mind, that this conversation is predicated on your anti-constitutional notion that President controls spending.
I have demonstrated that President Bush has exerted numerous fiscally conservative constraints on higher spending. You say its not enough. Congress wanted more spending except in areas such as the military. The Bush administration kept it down.
I could be wrong but fortunately, your brilliant hypothesis will be tested starting Janaury 20. We will discover how Bush really increased spending dramatically and Democrats reduce spending. I look forward to being proven wrong.
