The only problem with this logic is, that defense is the only thing this government is actually authorized to spend large sums of money on.

Defense DOES NOT equal 20% of the budget either, but if the government wants to cut just 80% of the budget items, I’ll settle for that amount.

He said roughly a fifth of the budget. 18.74% is close enough.
