If we cut the Federal budget by 50%, it would bring us back to what years level of funding?
What is your share of the national debt?
What is your share of this years projected 1.6 trillion deficit?

50%? I'd guess somewhere around Reagan if just using flat non-inflation adjusted dollars. Adjusted for inflation, however, to cut 50% of expenses we'd probably have to go back to pre-New Deal policies.
My share right now is around $36,000, I think.
My share of the deficit is about $5400, I think.

Don't feel like doing the inflation math on the first one, without adjusting at all:
2003 (and 1998 there was a drop in the early 2000's) 1999, I read from the wrong column on the spreadsheet.
$45,464.01
$5161

the numbers I have are- the year 2000
about 45,000 (have not run the numbers to see if it includes this years 6k)
and around five or six thousand for this years debacle.
We are economically doomed. No turning this one around.
