"In fiscal 2017, the federal government spent $3,982,000,000,000, according to the Congressional Budget Office's Monthly Budget Review. With the Census Bureau estimating that the population was 325,344,115 as of July, that makes per capita federal spending in fiscal 2017 about $12,239.35.
That is $3,204.27 (or about 35 percent) higher than the $9,035.08 in real per capita spending in fiscal 1945 — at the height of World War II.
It is more than seven times greater than the $1,718.33 in real per capita spending the federal government did in fiscal 1941 — the last fiscal year before World War II.
Measured against the population of the country, the federal government is now seven times bigger than it was when FDR started his third term."
