Complete Horse Pucky

Another Bush whopper refuted. You know how he claims that he's only raised discretionary spending (non-defense/homeland security) by only one percent in his tenure? Well, that's not true. In fact, his spending has far exceeded the last five presidents:

Nixon/Ford: 6.8% per year
Carter: 2.0% per year
Reagan: -1.3% per year
Bush 1: 4.0% per year
Clinton: 2.5% per year
Bush Jr: 8.2% per year

If you say it enough times, it becomes true, though.
