Thanks for backing up my point.

"costs may reach" doesn't equal "money has already been committed".

As for his $5tril estimate I consider that rather questionable, unless he's counting all the money spent as borrowed and counting interest going forward for a long time, and if you do that then you get incredible costs for any large government initiative.
