"My God that's nearly double what was budgeted as federal government expenditure, more than double the budgeted total tax collections estimated at 33.5 billion dollars and if non tax revenue is included then Gates' wealth is nearly double the projected total revenue collections for the ongoing year at 42 billion dollars."
