That is what we used in the budget we passed last night in the U.S. senate. But I've laid out other options, too. If you use Clinton's spending from 1998 and you increase it by population growth and inflation, plus this year's Social Security, Medicare and interest, that'd be $5.5 trillion. And we'd virtually have a balanced budget. In other words, using Clinton's spending priorities, inflate it, we'd have a balanced budget. If you use Obama's spending priorities from 2014, it'd be $6.2 trillion. (05:23–05:36)
