Thanks, Mike.

Here are some numbers that are not as rosy as financial
press lately

Year GDP Gov. Spending % of GDP

2007 13715.7 19.90
2008 14165.6 21.06
2009 14240.2 28.07
2010 14728.8 24.38

This shows that while the GDP grew 0.5% in 2009, Government
spending as a percentage of GDP increased by 7.01% (of GDP).
