In 1982 Ronald Reagan was really upset about the federal government spending $2 billion a day, in 2025 we spent $20 billion a day

 "Our Government is spending money at a rate that is intolerable, if not incomprehensible. Almost $2 billion a day, $1,400,000 a minute... We must reverse the process."

-- Ronald Reagan, 1982 

Federal outlays in 2025 are estimated at $7.266 trillion, or $19.9 billion per day.
