While the democrats are performing a socialist takeover of America you choose this time to slander and falsley attack the GOP and Repbulicans . you claim wrongly that the REpublicans tripled the size of government. That’s liberal media lies. You can repeat liberal media lies well now back them up with facts.

Name the NUMBER of federal government agencies when the Republicans finally after 100 years achieve barely a bare majority. and then show how that number trippled by 2006 when the Democrats gained a super majority, show the NUMBER of agencies in 2006 or federal workers. if you can’t then you prove yourself totally misinformed and you are just spreading lies , slander against the GOP which will divide conservatives and gain more victories for Democrats so they can destroy our country faster, and that’s the media’s goal and what you are in effect helping them to do.

I can show the number of workers per 1000 population decreased during the time the Republicans held barely a bare majority.

So are you saying the Republicans reduced the size of government. PLEASE tell me you are not saying that??

Here is quote from the CATO Institute 2006

“President Bush has presided over the largest overall increase in inflation-adjusted federal spending since Lyndon B. Johnson. Even after excluding spending on defense and homeland security, Bush is still the biggest-spending president in 30 years. His 2006 budget doesn’t cut enough spending to change his place in history, either.

Total government spending grew by 33 percent during Bush’s first term. The federal budget as a share of the economy grew from 18.5 percent of GDP on Clinton’s last day in office to 20.3 percent by the end of Bush’s first term.

The Republican Congress has enthusiastically assisted the budget bloat. Inflation-adjusted spending on the combined budgets of the 101 largest programs they vowed to eliminate in 1995 has grown by 27 percent.

The GOP was once effective at controlling nondefense spending. The final nondefense budgets under Clinton were a combined $57 billion smaller than what he proposed from 1996 to 2001. Under Bush, Congress passed budgets that spent a total of $91 billion more than the president requested for domestic programs. Bush signed every one of those bills during his first term. Even if Congress passes Bush’s new budget exactly as proposed, not a single cabinet-level agency will be smaller than when Bush assumed office.

Republicans could reform the budget rules that stack the deck in favor of more spending. Unfortunately, senior House Republicans are fighting the changes. The GOP establishment in Washington today has become a defender of big government.”
