what is perceived as "small"

Small compared to the size of the economy. Not small.

Still, it's good to know that YOU think that "tens of billions per year"

"Low tens of millions to very low billions" per year, not "tend of billions per year".

continued over an EXTENDED NUMBER OF YEARS

The number of years is irrelevant. 1 or a million makes little difference. Since I'm not making an absolute statement about the size of the borrowing for SDI, but rather a statement about the size of it compared to the economy. If you look at one year you compare against one year of the US economy. If you look at a million years of SDI, you'd compare it against a million years of the US economy.

Again - I'm saying that the range of "low tens of millions to very low billions", is small compared to the range of "low trillions to very low tens of trillions".

If you don't agree with that point you have a rather unusual conception of what being small compared to something else means.
