What part of my statement were you trying to disprove with your link?
If it was the since Clinton portion and you were saying it goes back to 72, ok, I didn't date it far enough back. My basic point was still valid.

Your statement is false because you stated that the Democrats took it to new heights against Bush. Relative to previous sessions when Clinton was in office, which is the point of reference in your statement, your claim isn't true. When you compare the 104rd congress with the 103th congress which saw a ~36% increase compared to the previous congress (102nd) you are still standing in the invalid circle.


If you really want to speak to the issue of taking things to new heights you would hit the jackpot with 110th congress.
