Nothing you didn't know

In terms of discretionary spending, the government has had an annual increase of 5.3% under G. W. Bush. Under LBJ, who also fought a war and claimed that we could have both butter and guns, the annual increase was 4.6%. Surprising to me, under Reagan the increase was only 1.9%.

And Bush has another year plus to go.

Don't forget Reagan doubled the national debt bailing out banking institutions which we are about to do again.
