I get jammed up with terminology sometimes. Seems to me it's only a "cost" if one accepts the premise that the previous rate was appropriate. Or it wouldn't be a cost if spending were cut. No one has a bill that's suddenly going to shave $5.7T tomorrow, I get that. But a few billion here & there...
