Well, since you brought up Clinton, let’s look at the facts.
Since 2000, government spending has increased by more than 55 percent. Even when adjusted for inflation in constant (2000) dollars, federal expenditures have risen by just short of 29 percent. During this same period, real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has only increased by 17.3 percent. Thus, over the last eight years real government spending has gone up nearly twice as fast as the actual U.S. economy.
When the Clinton Administration left the White House, federal spending was 18.4 percent of GDP. In 2008, at the close of the Bush Administration, federal expenditure is 20.5 percent of GDP, for an 11.4 percent increase over the last eight years.

So, as you can see the government was much smaller under the Democrat Bill Clinton than it was under the Republican George Bush. If you are in favor of smaller government, shouldn’t you be voting for Democrats?

ParticipantIt is more important to stand up for your beliefs than to vote for a major party. Just ask the Germans after World War II who had joined the Nazi Party just so they could blend in.
