Not Very Attractive Curves


Here is the big picture on Federal spending as a percentage of GDP from 1960 to present. Note the steady climb of non-defense spending and it's rocket-like ascent in the current budget. In terms of the impact on the private sector, it's like trying to play a baseball game with every player carrying a 200-pounder on their back. Keep it up and there won't be a private sector to feed the beast.
