Wonkette takes a serious moment:
Federal spending increased by 9 percent this year alone — the biggest increase since 1990, when those other big-spending liberals were in charge of Congress — to $2.7 trillion.
Republican voters are so disgusted that they’re threatening to stay home in November — or even vote for a comparatively thrifty Democrat!
Republicans are traditioanlly fiscally conservative. They’re against big government spending. So, the biggest spending increase since 1990 happened this year (which isn’t over yet), under President Bush. And guess who was President in 1990? Oh yeah, President Bush. Senior.
President Bush meanwhile is bragging about how fiscally conservative his Administration has been.
