Ya, I answered 'A', mainly because I disagreed with the wording in 'D' more than in 'A'. I took it as a straight up if/then question, then got caught up in the myriad of reasons* that "tax" per person NEVER equals government spending per person when "taxes" equal government spending. In the end I figured 'A' was more correct than 'D' - if "taxes" = gov't spending, then debt for that period is zero. It didn't help that by the time I got to #33 I was sure I had crushed the average college grad & was back in genius mode. Besides, I'm the idiot of this group. What did you expect? :-) * example - business/other taxes aren't part of the tax per person ratio - "tax" per person is a subset of all "taxes" - similarly spending per person is a subset of all spending
