Can Bob Kuttner of the Boston Globe Count?

Bob Kuttner forgets how to count:
On the spending side of the ledger, Bush has been hacking away at needed social spending for six years. The No Child Left Behind law got shortchanged. Medicare keeps passing budget cuts along to doctors and hospitals. Affordable housing gets almost nothing. Head Start, a proven success, is chronically under-funded.
"Hacking away"? Can Comrade Kuttner count? Here's some numbers on Bush's big spending.When you promote socialism like Comrade Kuttner,government can never be too big.
