That's a great point. What's amazing to me is you put out those very staggering numbers, and every American should just be horrified at those numbers, but I've actually heard Members of the other side of the aisle actually say the stimulus wasn't big enough. I think most people listening today have heard that: The stimulus just wasn't big enough. Okay, well, I disagree, but fine. Theoretically, let's say it wasn't big enough. So what do we need, another $2 trillion, $3 trillion stimulus, a gajillion dollar stimulus, because then everybody can go back to work? But the President puts a $450 billion stimulus.
