Interesting. According to figure 3 the US started at 6% of GDP in 1980
and is down to 3.5 in 2002. West Germany started at 5.5 in 1984 and is
at about 3 in 2002. Approx 0.5 difference throughout.

Two things:

1. .5% of US GDP is a huge number. Now mulitiply that for 60 years.
I believe we've just paid for your welfare state.


Oh **** you , you moron.
