Here's another handy graph when people like Rush Limbaugh start telling you that today's GOP is conservative. He's lying. This graph is from the Heritage Foundation, which, last time I checked, was conservative. And don't be deceived by the reduction of earmarks in 2006. As Heritage explains:
There were more earmarks in 2005 than from 1991 to 1999 combined. Although the number of earmarks went down in 2006, their cost increased $6 billion in one year - from $23 billion in 2005 to $29 billion in 2006.
