I sure don't feel like we are getting much bang for our buck for that 40%. That is for sure.

...Well according to this chart, government spending per GDP has doubled since the late 40s...

Well, no.

We were talking about Federal Spending.

You have to click the Federal "radio budget" on the chart maker. Its a problem I'm stumbled on myself when creating charts; making sure that the titles match the data I'm trying to display. I've set the first period at 1940.

Remember also, we've been at war since 1940.
