Now we're spending 7. We never looked back. We went from average deficits about $800 billion prior to Covid to now pretty well in grain 1.9. And Over the next 10 years, we're projected to have $26.4 trillion of total deficit. So it's averaging $22.6 trillion a year. Not sustainable. So I'm glad you went back to the wartime era because you happen to be there during the COVID era and the J6 era. (08:18–08:26)
