Shades of FDR

It's been correctly pointed out over the last few years that the Bush Administration, along with the Republican led Congress, has raised federal spending at the fastest rate since the Johnson Administration in the 60s. I guess it's gotten even better, for those on the big government side of the aisle:

This article from USA Today, points out that the spending increases of the current administration rival those of the FDR Administration 1933 to '45. Looks like spending on social programs didn't fare as well. They're still only in the fastest growth period since the 60s. There still might be time for social spending to catch up, though, and it likely will, regardless of who sits in the White House next time around.

Don't blame me. I voted Libertarian!
