Appropriations of the Pennsylvania General
Assembly
Appropriations Acts were evaluated according to how much the law increased spending. Spending reductions were classified as increasing Liberty, as were spending increases at or below the previous three years? combined rates of inflation and population growth. Spending increases above this factor were classified as decreasing Liberty.
For appropriation bills that grew no higher than the likely growth rate of Pennsylvanians' ability to pay for higher government spending, both yes and no votes were considered "For Liberty". A "YEA" vote was recorded as a vote for Liberty; however, in this case, a "NAY" vote was also deemed as a vote for Liberty because the bill's defeat could have reduced government spending.
