The individual share of this years deficit for every American is $4100 - by fall that share will approach $6000. The national debt currently stands at $11.7 trillion or $38000 for every American. . . Americans for Tax Reform estimates that the cost of government this year will consume 61.34 percent of national income. Working men and women spend 224 days out of the year just meeting costs imposed by the government - a full 26 days longer than last year.
