Have the new Republicans replaced the old Democrats? Have todays so-called conservatives become liberal?
I disagree. For example, some republican candidates have explained their own shortcoming by apologizing and stating they spent like democrats. If that were only true. Final budget proposals under Bush versus Clinton reveal that Republicans more than doubled the rate of spending growth that occured under Clinton: Bush budget 2008 2,931,200,000,000 63% ($1,142,000,000,000) Increase during term Clinton Budget 2000 1,789,200,000,000 30% ($ 407,600,000,000) Increase during term Bush Sr Budget 1992 1,381,600,000,000 And most of it was non defense spending. It was reported that an administration official, Thomas A. Scully, had concealed the higher estimate and threatened to fire Medicare Chief Actuary Richard Foster if he revealed it.[2] By early 2005, the White House Budget had increased the 10-year estimate to $1.2 trillion.[3] Frankly, when Republicans call Democrats “tax and spend”, I think they are insulting our intelligence and hope that people don’t research the facts.
