Cost of Government Day

The year is half over, but we're still not quite to Cost of Government Day this year!

Actually, it turns out that we are if you live in the Great State of Georgia.  The overall number provides an average for state-imposed costs, but you can dig into the by-state numbers later in the report.  It looks like three states -- Louisiana, Tennessee and Mississippi -- actually managed to hold down costs so that their citizens need only work six months of the year to pay for the cost of government.
