i think generally that's a pretty persuasive argument for republicans out on the campaign trail, isn't it? >> everybody says, well, of course you can cut $45 billion from the federal budget, how hard can that be? $4 trillion doesn't sound much when you're talking about $44 trillion versus $45 trillion. but, yes, health care is the big problem, no, we have not obviously solved the health care problem. what is happening instead, we've talked about many times is health care is squeezing out that 12% of the budget. it's squeezing it out. and what you're going to see. if this budget is like paul ryan's last budget, yes, he's going to do some stuff on health care, but he's going to massively cut into this discretionary spending pile. so, yes, maybe big bird is jeopardized, but more than big bird is infrastructure, r & d, all the things we care about. when people dig into this budget, they're not going to like the spending stuff any more than they like the tax stuff. i don't. >> thank you. andrea mitchell, we'll see you
