At Thursday's hearing, Emily Daniels, policy director for the nonprofit Georgia Family Council, charted budget and spending growth dating back a quarter-century.Using an average of the rate of inflation and population growth for the preceding three years - done to avoid relying on the gyrations of a single year - she tracked the impact of a TABOR-like cap.

It reveals three or four spending spikes.Many came after economic downturns and were accounted for in the '90s by higher spending for Medicaid and for teacher salaries, she notes, made possible in part by Olympics-related job growth.

Had a cap been in place starting in 1980, the state budget would have grown to $14.75 billion in 2006, said Daniels.
