We were all hit with sticker shock: $87 billion is a huge number.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money.
I remember in 1990, there were five of us making $3 million a year. When guys passed us, we didn't cry. Why would we cry? You didn't get mad when someone got $6 million. Or $8 million.
Now some are saying maybe $1.6 trillion in is not enough maybe we should look at $2 trillion.
I couldn't have predicted the business would be worth so much. I could see that we would have this sort of market share, but I didn't realise the numbers would be so large.
We have the fact we sell out every week to 67,500 and hopefully 75,000 in the future. We have a lot of assets.
We couldn't spend $91 billion if we wanted to.
I made a list of people who needed just a little bit of money. And when the list was complete, there were 42 names. The total amount of money they needed was $27. I was shocked.
The sheer magnitude of Speaker Pelosi's spending spree is mind boggling. Most of us do not use the number 1,000,000,000,000 in our daily lives, so it is difficult to attach tangible value to the figure.
A trillion here, a trillion there and pretty soon you're talking about real money.
Twenty years and $40 billion. They seem like good round numbers.
