The first real big chunk of money I'd save taxpayers. Taxpayers was actually a Pentagon recruitment program that we looked at and found that it hadn't recruited a single soldier, not one. And We have been able to save taxpayers over a billion dollars just by cutting that one example of wasteful spending. So, you know, what it all comes down to is in this time where we need to cut taxes, we need to reduce spending, we need to bring down the debt so that we can stop inflation. (21:29–21:35)
