Has any Republican President downsized government?

[Oddball]

Will O triangulate like Clinton did or will he continue to scream like a two month old?

I'm betting on the latter.

Bubba was a politician, Barry Obolshevik is a committed collectivist authoritarian ideologue.

Okay..we have Harding/Coolidge..

Big deregulation guys..responsible for the "roaring twenties".

Anyone else?

 

[Big Fitz]

Just wondering.

This should be easy.

Off hand..Clinton made the size of the Government smaller..

The Era of Big Gubbamint is Ovah!

I wonder what programs Clinton cut? Offices Clinto CUT...whom did he give pink slips to? [Unless it was the Governement shutdown as the budget showdown under Clinton where Clinton HAD to capitulate]?

Clinton WAS forced into welfare reform.

Okay, republican president who cut the size of government?

Harding/Coolidge. Cut the federal government 50% in 1920. Saved the nation from a depression.

Since then there really hasn't been any republican control of congress, which also seems to be the key to the reduction of the size of government since 1932.

Who controlled Clinton's Congress?

Clinton's downsizing was the result of executive order, two years before Newt's lies took the stage. Nice try.

Here's a fun game. Tip O'Neil gave Reagan significantly less than he requested. That kept our national debt lower than it would have otherwise have been.

Who controlled Clinton's Congress?

A. That wasn't the question.

B. They had very little to do with Clinton's policies. In fact..they tried to oust him.

dude , really, starting off clueless or purposefully being obtuse doesn't help your case.

Clinton moved towards the center...do I really need to tell you why or do yo really not know?

With downsized not being defined, I will go with downsizing equal to a decrease in total outlays from the previous year. With this definition: IKE back in 1955.

We now have over 300 million people

Why would we have a smaller government?

 

[Oddball]

Because 300 million people are too many to control from one central location.

And make no mistake about it, that the current crowd of progressive goombahs in the District of Criminals are all about central control.

bush II downsized iraq's government, but then somewhere he lost track of that objective.

chile was downsized, too. for a short time.

Miss out on that Civil War stuff?

It is because of a powerful Federal Government that the US moved from being a splintered agrarian economy to the most powerful military and economic power in history. FDR changed the US into a modern democracy and we haven't looked back since
