"$2 Trillion is a LOT of money. I'm not sure the solution to the problem needs to costs that much."
Please give us your definition of cost. Do you consider your money to belong to the government and feel lucky to get to keep what they allow you to keep?
No, I consider my money to be mine until the government snatches it from my resisting hand.
The government takes enough money from me. I don't want them to take even more.
