Even when you set aside the cost of the Iraq war, George's Bush's spending and growth of government bereaucracy is so prolific that it makes Bill Clinton look like a staunch conservative in retrospect.

Agreed. Clinton never actually spent that much on any of the ideas he promised. He was much more responsible by comparison. It's a sad state of affairs.

Clinton had a Republican Congress to control him for 6 of his 8 years. Anyone remember the "Contract with America"?
