And to the news, to most people, it'll look like, yes, we funded pre K, we added money, but we didn't properly fund pre K. I certainly would not have spent $800 million on border security. And now Here we have a senator who says that [border security funding] needs to be closer to $3 billion. We're creating larger agencies that doesn't seem to be very fiscally responsible. You know, in my eyes, I've been running a business for 20 years. I can't do business that way. (06:25–06:30)
