"I believe banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies" -Thomas Jefferson "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." -Benjamin Franklin "To find out a girl’s faults, praise her to her girl friends." -Benjamin Franklin "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." Benjamin Franklin "The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself." -Benjamin Franklin "I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them." -Samuel Adams "A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves. They include all men capable of bearing arms. To preserve liberty is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms and be taught alike how to use them." -Thomas Jefferson "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined, nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants. They serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides from an unarmed man, may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." -Thomas Paine "To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace." -George Washington. notice he said to be prepared for war to prevent war. not to start war to prevent war "Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent Alliances, with any portion of the foreign world." -George Washington "Free Trade With All, Entangling Alliances With None" -Dr. Ron Paul "But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." -John Adams |

Greece’s population only increased by a bit more than 16 percent during this period. Yet the number of bureaucrats jumped by far more than 100 percent. |

You can roughly figure % changes just from eye-balling it, though that says nothing about inflation - which you can also back in to. For example, it looks like:
As inflation theoretically affects all the same, the disparity between them should be about the same. Also, interesting to compare Michael Milken to John Paulson. |
