Most conservatives make an exception for the biggest big government program of all, war. Why expect that when we get into combat formerly inept bureaucrats will become efficient? Maybe contracting out more of our defense efforts than we currently do would give us a better defense at a lower cost.

President Bush's non-Defense and Homeland Security budget is also the biggest ever, and he has not vetoed a single spending bill.

I believe the Cato institute did a study showing that NON-defense spending is up over 12% annually under Bush.
