The point is, your chart is nonsense and so is your analysis, and no, I'm not a supporter of Bush. I'm offended by ALL stupidity not just republican stupidity.

Do yourself a favor and read the AEI analysis. AEI is a conservative organization. Among their findings:

- President Reagan cut the budget of eight agencies out of fifteen during his first term, and ten out of fifteen during his second term.
- President Clinton cut the budget of nine out of fifteen agencies during his first term but cut none during his second term.
- President George W. Bush has cut none of the agencies’ budgets during his first term.

Also it shows that

- In his first term, Clinton cut non-defense discretionary spending by 8 percent
- In his second term, Clinton increased such spending by 8 percent
- In his first term, Bush INCREASED non-defense discretionary spending by over 30%!

Finally, I'm sure most of the conservatives on this board are not big fans of the feds running education. Well, under GWB education funding by the feds is up 70% and under clinton it went down by 8% in his first term.
