I mentioned this before, but I think it merits repeating, that we are at roughly $31 trillion in debt, as the gentleman said. If you set out to count to 31 trillion at one Mississippi, it will take you 1 million years to count to that. Just to put in perspective what that is, when I began running for office in December of 2017, our debt was $21 trillion; $10 trillion in 5 years since I began running for office.
