That is exactly what I want. Go look at that thread on the national budget. That is exactly what they did. Even though the raw numbers for the national budget are larger, their percentage of GDP is smaller than in the past.
This is what I want to know about the state budget. What is the states budget in relation to GSP and is that getting bigger or smaller? All we ever hear about are the raw numbers and if I'm reading the national stuff right, that is not neccessarily what is important.
