I have no sense of scale with these numbers.
On a related note, the percentage change year over year of the total federal debt from 1958 to 2012 – https://josephscott.org/archives/2013/04/percentage-change-in-federal-debt-1958-2012/
I went with the total debt instead of yearly budget surplus/deficit because even in years where we had a budget surplus the total debt often still went up instead of down.
