11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I

2/18    If not 0 then 1 - wasn't that the basis of the logic of the bush
        administration on torture?  If we do it, it's legal, and since
        torture is illegal, therefore we don't torture?
        \_ Bush is a great computer scientist.

www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=3750Stephen Slivinski is director of budget studies at the Cato Institute . Executive Summary President Bush has presided over the largest overall increase in inflatio n-adjusted federal spending since Lyndon B Johnson. Even after excludin g spending on defense and homeland security, Bush is still the biggest-s pending president in 30 years. His 2006 budget doesnt cut enough spendin g to change his place in history, either. Total government spending grew by 33 percent during Bushs first term. The Republican Congress has enthusiastically assisted the budget bloat. I nflation-adjusted spending on the combined budgets of the 101 largest pr ograms they vowed to eliminate in 1995 has grown by 27 percent. The GOP was once effective at controlling nondefense spending. The final nondefense budgets under Clinton were a combined $57 billion smaller tha n what he proposed from 1996 to 2001. Under Bush, Congress passed budget s that spent a total of $91 billion more than the president requested fo r domestic programs. Bush signed every one of those bills during his fir st term. Even if Congress passes Bushs new budget exactly as proposed, n ot a single cabinet-level agency will be smaller than when Bush assumed office. Republicans could reform the budget rules that stack the deck in favor of more spending. Unfortunately, senior House Republicans are fighting the changes. The GOP establishment in Washington today has become a defende r of big government.
