Your county government, your city government, for the most part, they balance their budget every year. Most states have limitations. The only government without limitations is the federal government. There are some limitations, but they're enormous, $36 trillion. But because of that, the federal government makes unwise decisions at a much greater rate than any other form of government.

I think Donald Trump. There was a movement that I think my father was at the head of probably 2007, 2008, 2009, which became the Tea Party movement.

The Tea Party movement got even, I think, bigger than my father at some point and became this bigger movement, but it was still talking about Constitution and balanced budgets. We elected a lot of people in 2010.

And unfortunately, we didn't get the things accomplished because we didn't have enough votes or some of the people turned out to not be as faithful to the Constitution as we would have hoped. The MAGA movement's a little different. It's more centered on the person of Donald Trump. It has many conservative aspects.

It's why when the subject of like doge checks has come up, I've said, well, why don't we talk about that after we balance the $2 trillion we're in the hole this year, and then maybe after we've paid back the $36 trillion, then we can talk about rebates. But absolutely, we shouldn't be talking about anything about that until we actually can balance an annual budget.
