You inflate it by population growth, inflation, use this year's Social Security, Medicare and interest. You'd be spending $5.5 trillion off that Clinton budget. Obama's budget from 2014, 6.2 trillion. Trump's 2019 outlays, 6.5 trillion. And What we're using, the Senate budget, is actually Trump's own budget for 2025. With today's Social Security, Medicare and interest. That's 6,061,000,000,000. A massive difference from where the House is right now. That's got to be our target. (01:38–01:43)
