So a quick search suggests air traffic controllers make around $75,000 annually. $875 million would pay the salaries of 11,666 air traffic controllers for a decade at that wage.

Even considering inflation, training, medical, etc that $875,000,000 could pay for thousands of hired Amemricans for a decade. Republicans are literally the worst.

You’re off by a factor of 10 here. It’s either a year of wages for 11666 controllers or 10 years of wages for 1166 controllers.
