Re: OT more political fun

I'm not even going to look it up, but I would be certain neither state [MA, CA] came close to the US on debt/GDB.

slice and dice as desired

2006 data - govt debt/household
US: $7767
AL: $3548
CA: $9005
MA: $26696

another interesting source of data
http://www.statemaster.com/cat/eco-economy&all=1

I wouldn't say there is any clear cut distinction between state tax as % of GSP, political leanings, and spending on health and education or quality thereof.
