That “1054” is 2 raised to the 10th power, plus 30. I am suspicious when numbers are round and large, like “1,000 more IRS agents” and also suspicious when numbers are large and just slightly off a power of 2. I suspect the actual number is 2,456 or 7,654.
Seems like we’re more in need of a few thousand goons to enforce the constitution. Can I join? I’ll work for free. Have gun and jack-boots, will travel.
