When government spends 100% of GDP you might call it the ultimate all-you-can-eat buffet.

I’m not sure people realize government spending % of GDP is close to 50%

And the trend is higher

What do you get when gov spending is 80%? 90%? 100%?

And how would you expect an economy to perform with gov spending at 10% vs 50% vs 90%? pic.twitter.com/Z6CbnhemCi
