Republican Legacy: Huge Expansive Government

One of the biggest hypocritical complaints from Republicans and so-called conservatives about the Obama administration is that he wants to grow government. But no one grew government bigger, larger and more expensive than Republican George W. Bush. It was an administration cheered on by Republicans and when he left office, the only people that still supported President Bush were Republicans, everyone else despised him. So how big and expensive did government get because of Bush's Republican policies? HUGE!

Via a two year independent investigation into post 9/11 America found that “[t]he top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work.

I know somehow this will get blamed on Obama. Just like TARP and the trillion dollar deficit have. The Bush reign will undoubetedly be remembered for its budget slashing, government shrinking, tax cutting, small government conservatism.  Anything post 9/11 that involves the growth of government and out of control spending will be because of liberal Obama.  It's how it is.  If you bring out facts that George Bush grew government so large that it's impossible to even track, you will be discredited because you are not a Serious, Patriotic American and are only being guided by your hysterical hatred.
