Someone will get stuck when the music runs out so I consider it a tax. Unfortunately, with borrowed money it all comes due when the house of cards falls.

Inadequately defined question error:
Just the county budget? County + all the municipalities in it (I think these are most of the local spending in PA)? + counties share of state money? + share of federal money?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Country Budget is not ill defined. Type in your County Name + State + Budget on google and their will be an annual report for your county (most likely) with a budget number.

The difference between what gets spent at what level of govt between states means you're comparing apples to tire irons.
Cambria county PA's $60m for 140k mostly reflects that the county govt doesn't do much. AFAIK it only runs the courthouse and county jail.
Most tax dollars/spending occur at the municipal level. Ex Johnstown spends $12m with another $30m for the school district despite having only 20k pop. That's >4.5x per capita.

Population: 540,504
Expenditures: $73,043,526
$55 million of budget comes from property and sales tax. A surprising amount comes from court fines.
As has been pointed out, however, my county is mostly incorporated towns and cities with some state land, so you'd have to add it all up.

Chicago was the first place in the Merca I visited so I have retained a fondness for the place and almost follow their sports teams.
Except the Cubs, they can go stick their collective heads in a pig.
Did I mention I stayed with a committed Sox family?

Yes, the Scrubs and Sox are indeed mutually exclusive. I hadn't thought of The Fridge in many moons, I wonder what he's up to, probably 5 or 6 hundred pounds I'd imagine.

I don't think everyone has got your meaning so
Everything is always in the last place (it may also be the first place) you look unless you are daft enough to keep looking once you have found it

I find that the quickest way to find something is to ask the wife where she put it...

Well, you can be happy you don't have a wife like mine then. She goes around moving EVERYTHING from the smallest item to the largest piece of furniture and even the paintings on the wall - with regular (short) intervals. Not for any particular reason, just because she feels that something ought to be rearranged.
Me, I like continuity in my life, and I like to know where things are. But every time I think I do, I come home to find that she has had one of her rearranging frenzies, and then I can start go searching for stuff again every time I need something... 
If it ain't broken, don't fix it!

I like to have tools handy so for instance I have several pairs of scissors scattered around the house so we have a pair available, more or less, in each room. In the kitchen it is in a particular drawer, and similarly in the living room, etc.
However, when I come to try and find some scissors, I find that they are all in a large pencil box on a shelf in the dining room. My amazingly wonderful wife (no sarcasm, she really is) has watched a TV program on organising where they said keep all like items together - so she gathered all the carefully placed pairs of scissors and put them neatly, carefully and oh so well organised, in a single location (failing to mention this to me so I spend hours looking for scissors and wondering where they all went). This also makes her ask me, "Why do we need twelve pairs of scissors?".
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Apparently, I do with regard to moving things around.

Ditto. I once was asked to move the refrigerator to the other side of the kitchen. Mind you the refrigerator lives in a space specially designed so that it is out of the way but close to a counter top so you can take things out and work with them right there.
The other side of the room has no counters and the refrigerator will be sticking out into the room. I tried to tell her that but what do I know?
As you may imagine once I get the refrigerator to the other side of the room she says it is sticking out into the room too much.
So I dutifully moved it back to the specifically built alcove where it has resided since we built the house 12 years ago. Me and the refrigerator were happy, but I think she eyes it from time to time and tries to figure out where to move it.
