It sounds like a lot of money, but over 10 years, only $150 billion a year. When we've increased spending from 4.4 trillion to $7 trillion in just the last six years, We basically doubled spending in the last 10 or 11 years. 2015 we spent, 2014, we spent $3.5 trillion. Now we're spending over 7 trillion. So again, it's completely out of control. There's no justification to continue to spend what we spent during an emergency pandemic. (00:56–01:00)
