Perhaps you may want to avoid numbers altogether.
12 Billion a month X 12 months = 144 Billion per year. At that rate it would total just over 1 Trillion total by 2017.
HHS with no increase at all will total over 5 Trillion by 2017. Why 2017?
And my numbers came from the US Budget Office. Where'd you get yours, the DNC?
