That's "trillions" with a "t" from Cheney with a "C"
Cheney, on FOX News Sunday:
WALLACE: But you don't think borrowing trillions of dollars more -- you talk about the economy -- increasing an already huge deficit, you don't think that's bad for the economy?
CHENEY: Well, but, again, remember how much we're going to borrow. We're going to borrow $758 million (sic) over the next 10 years to set up the personal retirement accounts. We think that's a manageable amount.
WALLACE: But trillions more after.
CHENEY: That's right. Trillions more after that. But the personal accounts will themselves provide a significant return for those who hold them, so that they'll get a better deal, if you will, out of money put into that system than they would if they paid it into Social Security.
And a deft sidestepping, I might add, to the original question about whether this borrowing on top of a huge deficit would be bad for the economy.
