The new fed budget is 3.8 trillon

The fed budget 60 years ago - 1950 - was a bit less than 45 billion.
Adjust that for government caused inflation and it would be about
360 billion.

That means the feds are now costing us 10+ times what they used to.
I don't think we are getting our money's worth.

Where does the cost of gov't services for the more than 50 million
population increase from 1950 to today factor into the above?

BTW, there was a budget surplus when Bush came into office.
