Also, a prime reason for why PB grows faster is that while MM has a membership of primarily larger states, there are more PB states and their combined populations currently outstrip MM's populations (not counting our new brother TX). Plus, a 30 year annuity doesn't hurt either (the power of compound interest...gotta love it).

With the hit last night in GA it goes back down to $10 Mil.
