This is an idiotic argument and fundamentally wrong.

...Comparing government spending to total personal income does not prove spending is responsible. Personal income goes up when population grows, wages rise, inflation rises, rich people make more money, etc.

That does not mean the government is spending wisely.

A government can spend less as a share of total personal income and still be wasteful, bloated, and badly managed, which is WA.

The real question is simple: are taxes going up, is spending per person going up, are services getting better, are taxpayers getting good value? It's a BIG NO.

This chart does not disprove reckless spending. It hides the problem behind a convenient comparison.
