Grover’s op-ed on NRO today makes the point that the burden of government has been growing over the last three years, after declining from 1992 to 2000. That’s interesting, but doesn’t it raise some questions of political responsibility? Questions that Grover might be expected to address? I’m not saying that Bush is necessarily the reason for the shift in the trend. I’m just saying that it’s odd for the question not to be raised.
