-Caveat Lector- GWB's BIG GOVERNMENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS NOTE: As of this date GWB has not vetoed a single piece of legislation since taking office. He has spent more time on the campaign trail than any of his predecessors. THIS LIST LAST UPDATED 11-08-2002
Do Republicans really support smaller government? Republicans controlled both Houses of Congress from 1995 through 2001 during which time the federal budget grew from $1.4 trillion to $2.1 trillion (about $100 billion annually). Since Republicans took control of the House in 1995, federal discretionary spending has grown by a rate of about 7 percent annually. The number of earmarks lawmakers have put in the spending bills to steer federal funds to their districts has also grown. By one estimate, between fiscal years 2001 and 2002, they increased from about 6,300 to 8,300, or 32 percent. Social welfare programs under Bush have grown by $96 billion in just two years, versus $51 billion under six years of Clinton, according to economist Stephen Moore of the Club for Growth.
