Do you have any evidence that increased government spending harms economic growth? It depends on the spending....the obvious counter-example are roads, which had a huge positive effect on growth when they were built. Alternately, spending on bombs for war have a negative effect....they blow up in the desert and don't help anyone except the people who built it (so you might as well have left those dollars with the taxpayers). A similar argument is "more/less regulation." It really depends on the details of the regulation.
