Spending Race Shocks with Rapid Federal Outlays
Census Bureau studies show total government spending rose from 1 billion to 100 billion between 1902 and 1952 and then surged to 206 billion from 1952 to 1965. Per capita spending grew from 643 to 1968 dollars, with personnel costs driving federal budgets and state and local funds increasingly dependent on federal aid, risking central control. An informed electorate is urged to elect frugal leaders to curb growth and preserve local services.
