If interest this year will my math is about 1.2 trillion. That makes interest the second biggest expense in the United States government. So it's Social Security at 1,450,000,000, interest at 1.2 and then Medicare and Defense are down here at around 8,900 billion. If I come to you a couple years ago and say interest will be our second biggest expense and it's going to continue to get worse and we'll go through this campaign and almost no one will step up and talk about it.
