Are you saying that budget increases should mirror population increases? No, I was not saying that, nor do I believe that it should always be the case. What I was doing was showing that Prop13 did not lead to reduced spending in CA. Instead spending increased greatly. You can argue about if it should have increased greatly or not, but the fact that it did shows that CA was not devastated by forced reductions in taxes and spending from prop13. If CA did not spend enough in any important area it is because they wasted too much money in either less important areas or in waste and overhead. Tim
