A Bit of a Disconnect

Rep. Roy Blunt writes a piece in today's Wall Street Journal in which he is basically making a pitch for his election as Majority Leader. One sentence caught my eye:

"Congress must continue to work to shrink the size of government."

And when did they start to shrink the size of government? I'm not sure this is the right guy for the job if he he thinks Congress has been making any serious attempts to shrink the federal government. John Miller points us to this or this. Not much shrinkage going on there.
