That's got to be done through the appropriations process or through rescissions, which I've already talked about. And so we're looking at what? 1.6 to 4 trillion. That's a $2.4 trillion gap. $2.4 trillion. And I already told you that the CBO underestimated the effect of tax cuts to the tune of nearly a trillion dollars over 10 years.
