The real tax and spenders

| | Comments (2) |

Perhaps my GOP buddies on this blog can explain to me why conservatives continue to refer to democrats as the "tax and spend" party when it seems to be Republican leaders doing all the taxing and spending these days, only they call them "fee increases" and "investments."

For example, the recent budget debacle has revealed that state government spending under California's republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has increased 10 percent a year. So much for all that waste in government he was trying to find. More amusing still is that, according to LA Times Sacramento columnist George Skelton, even that famous tax and spender Gray Davis only increased government spending at 7 percent a year.

And now its common knowledge that Bush the Second's administration has set 30-year records in government spending, thanks in large part to the war.

I thinks its time for both sides to agree that the country's two largest political parties are equally adept at liberating us from our money and spending it on their pet projects and pet wars.

Mariel, you'll get no argument out of me on this one. Once in power, GOP politicians come to love spending other people's money every bit as much as Democrats do. Anyone who thinks Republicans are immune to this phenomenom is a willfully blind party hack.

Best,
Chris
