Yeah, that's why the data on the following link has a 3, 4 ,and 5 year
lag. Sorry, Republicans still suck when it comes to managing the economy.

Ah, all this talk about tax cuts, it's interesting to note that since
1980 and until recently, federal tax receipts have held remarkably
constant at @19%+-1%.GDP I noted, "until recently" because under Bush
federal tax receipts have dropped to 16.3%. Unfortunately, expenditures
are still over 19%, down from Reagan's 23%.. It's clearly true, that
Democrats are tax and spent, unfortunately Republicans spend just as
freely, or more so. They just don't tax as heavily.
