Rep. Jayapal: $3.5 Trillion Over 10 Years Is ‘Very Little Each Year’; We Spend $750 Billion Yearly on The Pentagon

‘As the President says, it’s a zero-dollar bill’

EXCERPT:

JAYAPAL: “We will negotiate. We understand we have to get everyone on board. But yes, of course, I want to keep it as close as I can to at least $3 trillion because we have a lot of things we want to do. Final point on this, Jake, remember that $3 trillion — or $3.5 trillion is over ten years." 

TAPPER: "Right."

JAYAPAL: "So, if you divide that out, it's very little each year and we spend $750 billion on The Pentagon every year. And at the end of the day, this is all going to be paid for through taxes on the wealthiest individuals and corporations. So, as the President says, it's a zero-dollar bill."
