The elimination of the federal deficit is argued to free investment funds that formerly went to the federal government. I would like to make the point that investors are often using their funds in ways that do not contribute to employment and earnings. Does anyone have information on trends over time in the distribution of wealth between corporate stocks and bonds, real estate, speculative investment, etc? Or other relevant info? Thanks (I need this soon--enough to make the point that balancing the budget is likely to hurt employment as well as income distribution..)

I am not aware of any published data on inequality by state. However, it would not be difficult to calculate gini coefficients by state using either census data or data from the March Current Population Survey, although the CPS may provide too small a sample for some states. I have a little SAS program that will calculate gini coefficients for group data. Let me know if you would like a copy of the program.
