Can I ask a quick follow up here? What specific programs, I mean, waste, fraud and abuse is an easy phrase to say. What programs do you think should be cut or eliminated?

We can hold the line and actually bend that cost curve downwards without slashing one gigantic program or one entire department of the federal government. (40:27–40:33)
