Got it. Okay. So I was wondering why everyone is talking about Medicaid, et cetera.

The revenue he needs to make up is like $800 billion. It's a gigantuan amount. And so people are deducing from that either Trump doesn't get his tax cuts or something gigantic needs to be cut, which is why the conversation about Medicaid. Correct.
