1.2 trillion is also just one single federal bill, it doesn't take into account the previously existing federal budget or any money/work being done by state and municipal governments. My biggest beef with this meme is that it blames "politicians" when it should really blame "Republicans." Keep in mind the 1.2 trillion barely squeaked by Republican opposition.
