Probably a stupid question about consumers

[Max Sawicky]

For the Federal sector, the Federal budget
Historical Statistics volume has a chapter
on investment, including R&D and education
& training.  The Analytical Perspectives
volume has interesting (to a goof like me)
chapters on a Federal balance sheet and capital
budget.

For the public sector as a whole, the Nat'l
Income and Product Accounts separate consumption
and investment.

By coincidence I was looking at the Federal numbers
the other day.  Overall Federal investment is negative,
according to the Gov -- depreciation exceeds new spending.
The source of this is the defense sector.  Take that out
and net investment is positive, though no great shakes.

Where can you find the time series data on this?  Has anyone taken up
Eisner's suggestion and developed time-series estimates for how much of "G"
has been govt. consumption and how much govt. investment?
