Right. It is now $26 trillion more than that, and the President is patting himself on the back for saying, well, we are not going to increase the debt by $20 trillion; we are only going to increase it by $17 trillion over the next decade by taxing and regulating the American people into oblivion. I would just ask the gentleman a last question here, and then we are going to--in a couple of minutes I want to yield to my friend from West Virginia. Would it surprise the gentleman that we are spending $158 million in economic, law enforcement, and military support for Mexico--so, again, the American people, you and I, we are funding to the tune of $158 million, Mexico's law enforcement and military, while it is becoming a narco-terrorist state; cartels are literally killing American citizens in Mexico; infiltrating our country, causing 72,000 dead Americans from fentanyl poisoning? This is the thing the American people don't understand. Does the gentleman agree?
