Jack Kingston: That if Mr. Cunningham's jet was flying overhead at the speed of sound and spewing out a roll of dollar bills behind it…

On the recordMarch 5, 1997
That if Mr. Cunningham's jet was flying overhead at the speed of sound and spewing out a roll of dollar bills behind it, the plane would have to fly for more than 15 years before it wheeled out $1.6 trillion, and I do not think you have that much fuel in any plane. And here is another way to look at it, and this is from the Wall Street Journal 2 years ago. Newspaper tabloids say that O.J. Simpson paid about $55,000 a day in legal bills, $55,000, and actually this is for the criminal trial and not for the civil trial. The trial would last 26 million days or about 100,000 years before O.J. had spent $1.6 trillion.

But the fact is, no, I don't trust my governors. In South Carolina, perfect example, we didn't expand Medicaid. That meant 240,000 people went without coverage.
