So for example, he fully knows that this current Congress and "president" are the all-time heavyweight champions of spending BY FAR. In the same mold as Reagan, who put up some spending numbers that most folks believed unreachable.
And......knowing all this, he reminds us of this myth that the liberals are the big spenders. The triumph of marketing over substance.

Spending has incresed with every admin, you know that. It's a question of how much, not if. So when you say that the Republican congress increased spending you might as well tell us the sun came up.
The fact that you can claim with a straight face that Liberals are NOT big spenders is laughable. I thought you were a fairly intelligent guy too (back handed compliments are fun
).
In the end a mixed Congress will probably result in less spending, I'll concede that. But a Liberal President w/ a Liberal Congress will make Bush look like a tight fisted miser.
