That's the scale of what we're talking about.
Put another way, it's what the federal government spends every 12 hours.
With 1% of the federal budget we'd have enough left over to build a wall spanning the northern border as well.
Now I'd love it if Congress went through the $4T federal budget finding places to cut, there are surely many totalling way more than $5B, but it's disingenuous to say it's about the money.
