Last count when we had this argument, it was over 20%.

No. You might have said it was over 20% but actually it was not even remotely close to that figure.

Our GDP is close to $13 trillion. 


GDP (purchasing power parity):
	Definition Field Listing Rank Order
$12.37 trillion (2005 est.)
GDP (official exchange rate):
	Definition Field Listing Rank Order
$12.77 trillion (2005 est.)


It might be $13 trillion by now but I'll round it down to $12 trillion anyway.

20% of $12 trillion is $2.4 trillion. That is almost as much as the federal government spends on everything put together.
