By the way....
The National Budget has been close to 2 trillion the past few years. That doesn't include what's being spent on the war.
Soooo.... since at the rate the the original claim comes to about 1 trillion a year, the reality actually is....
E. A billion dollars ago was only about 4 hours , at the rate our government is spending it.
