Newt Gingrich often says that unless Republicans in '08 make the case that they represent a clean break from the status-quo, Democrats stand a good chance of winning. This study by the Cato Institute shows us what Gingrich means: Bush is the biggest spender since LBJ. Defense spending is one thing and as long as the troops are in danger it's a necessary thing but I would like to see how much this percentage would be cut if Bush would have shown more discretion in the arena of "domestic spending" when the GOP ran Congress.
