Plus another $400 billion of the mandatory. So many of our brothers and sisters around the country don't understand. It is so out of whack now because all--look. The number one growth is healthcare cost, but that is sort of on autopilot because every time we try to fix it, the lobbyists, the Democrats, lose their minds. We are just trying to save the country. We end up having the fights that are going on right now over that $0.14. There is waste, fraud, and things that we need to fix, but it is a fraction of the budget, and it is all on borrowed money, which adds the additional stress of there is a morality of squeezing everything we can out of it.
