While as a conservative, I have been disgusted by the porkbarrel spending by my own party, the only reason that Clinton was able to keep his spending so low was:
1) Republicans controlled the congress and their porkbarrel agendas were different from the Clintons porkbarrel agendas.
2) Most of the speding cuts by the Clinton administration were in defense. If fact, after crowing about how "the era of big government is over" and bragging on how many government jobs were cut during the Clinton administration, it turns out that ALL of the job cuts were defense related. In fact, the rest of government was growing.
So yes, it IS the Dems who are addicted to spending. As are the Republicans. That is why we need a president who is not afraid to veto spending bills. That's why we need Mitt Romney in the White House.
