Even if you say adjust for inflation, adjust for population growth, even throw a couple percent on there, they would have gone to like 45 billion, not 60 billion.

And just imagine what you could do in a state where you actually own your own home, that the government's never going to be able to come and take it away from you. (18:12–18:16)
