we're at a point now where we're spending $3.7 trillion, $3.8 tri llion, we're collecting collecting $2.2 trillion. i'm sort of like senator cornyn on this topic -- and by the way, everybody else is, too, including the secretary of the treasury. nobody knows how much money this is, but we do all know if you're making $22,000 a year and you're spending $37,000 a year and you have already borrowed more money than probably anybody should have ever lent you, you can't continue to do that. at some point, there has to be a moment when you say we're going to have to get real here and we're making $22,000, we better start spending no more than than $22,000, and that includes paying off the money that we have already borrowed when we were spending $37,000. there are so many zeros and so many numbers here that if any of us really understood how much money we're talking about and how long we'll take to way it back, we would all be more scared than we are, and certainly the people we work for would be more scared than they are because we're doing irresponsible things, and as irresponsible as any
