I'm a little confused as well, but 2 things I noticed.

1) It's 2% cut a year, so you save 200B the first year cuts, 160B the second year cuts etc.

2) This calculation is based on happening several years out, with significantly higher military spending.

But I still "only" see .65T in savings when they start cutting 2% a year in 2025 from 2.2T budget
