Maybe he's rounding to the nearest billion. You know, a billion here a billion there, and pretty soon we're talking about real money!

Srexley,

We spent almost exactly $1 billion a day in interest payments over the last three years. This is a travesty of wasted taxpayer money.

2000 $361,997,734,302.36
1999 $353,511,471,722.87
1998 $363,823,722,920.26
