Tax Freedom Day makes one thing crystal-clear: government is our biggest

than for food, clothing and housing (105 days) -- combined.

Is that a net loss, or does this figure take into account money, services or
benefits in kind returned to the citizens?

My original had cites!

I'd guess it's gross, since to take the factors you list into account
would bring the net to zero, right? I mean, some (no names, Paul ;)
might argue that every dollar the government spends is to a benefit
returned to the citizens...
