I read that as if I pay $1,000 in taxes, the gov't spends $1,000 on my benefits? Not $999 or $1,001 but $1,000. Maybe I read it wrong. When I do reread it, I think I took it to literal.
I missed that question too, and partly for the same reason. I also read "no debt" on (a) but thought "no deficit", so I gave that answer. If they had used "per capita" instead of "per person" I might have gotten it right, which is silly because the two phrases mean more or less the same thing.
