David Broder Noticed - It Must Be Really BIG!

Washington Post When George W. Bush was running for president, he did not campaign as an
enemy of the
federal government. But he claimed that he would limit its growth and
power. And he
derided his opponent, Al Gore, as an advocate of "big government."

That was then. Now that Bush is running the federal government, its size
doesn't bother
him so much. Two years after taking office, Bush is presiding over the
biggest, most
expensive federal government in history. He has created a mammoth
Cabinet department,
increased federal spending, imposed new federal rules on local and state
governments, and
injected federal requirements into every public school in America.

Big government is back -- with a Republican label.
