By the way, here's a list of what that $126 billion could pay for.
Fascinating. Here are some other things that cost $120B:
The entire interstate highway system for the USA, ~$115B.
The International Space Station, ~$125B.
The U.S. Navy Ford Class Aircraft Carrier Program, ~$120B (~$13B per ship).
But a train between two cities cost more? https://t.co/r2dRqVgXOr
