Okay.

I DEMAND THAT WE TRIPLE OUR . . . .

(I'd pay for it by banning all local stadium subsidies, mohair setasides, Lawrence Welk Museums, ceiling fan supports, foreign tax setoffs, caterpillar-sex-life studies, grants to public media, arts supports, public transit capital funding, public official junkets studying city water fountains in Beijing, and, of course, deductions for loss of goodwill.)
