No more tolerating terms like “a huge amount”, “a lot”, “millions”, “billions”, “negligible”, “a drop in the bucket”, “who knows how much,” etc. With this app at my fingertips, I have the facts, a myriad of them. Now when someone makes a general statement about how the government wastes money or spends it unwisely (or I’m tempted to make such a statement), I can pull out my iPhone and we can look it up. And then we can argue endlessly about what the numbers mean. But at least we’ll be starting from the same place.
