Do you enjoy making up your own facts?

Sweden - expenditures: $240.5 billion (2007 est.)
GDP - $455.3 billion (2007 est.)

US - expenditures: $2.73 trillion (2007 est.)
GDP - $13.84 trillion (2007 est.)

So Sweden's national government spending as a percentage of GDP is 52.8%, and the US's is 19.7%
