Literally flushing money down the toilet. So Barbara Lee from California, who just left Congress, and I started a Pentagon spending reduction caucus, and what's interesting is We had a vote probably five years ago, give or take a year, to cut 1%, and we only got 70 people to vote with us. on one of the appropriation processes. But two years later, we went to cut 10%, and we got 95 votes. So I think there's a bit of a growing awareness. (1:11:08–1:11:17)
