You can't even describe the method they used to determine that number. It's completely arbitrary!

Your repeating yourself, answer already provided to you here:

As far as a ballpark verification of the value goto 1998, GDP/NIPA, that was undoubtedly the essential source from which the percentage would have been extracted. Think real hard on it.

I'm repeating myself because you keep posting the same number that you can't explain the methods used to derive it. The answer certainly isn't where you pointed me to.

Well you're applying it to 2000. In 2000 expenditures and exports were $9,556 billion! But even still, 1998 prices were $8,352 billion! Much higher than your number using 2000 tax revenues.

The 33.6% number is wrong. You can't tell me how it was determine. You can't defend it.
