Can you imagine the scope of this budget request? Do you grasp how much money $190 billion dollars is?

190 billion seconds would take more than 6000 years to tick off on your clock! That would buy one and a half million new Ferraris. You could provide every kid enrolled in any US school with 2 new high end computers.
