1 Trillion dollars!

[Carl Brown]

If there was a stack of 100 dollars bills that totaled 1 trillion dollars.

How big of a stack would it be?

Cubic yards?

It's not easy to explain just how much money $1 trillion really is. Imagine a stack of bills worth $1 million that is roughly six inches high. (Think big denominations — a mix of $100 bills and $1,000 bills, mostly $1,000's.) If the six-inch stack were enlarged to the point where it was worth $1 billion, it would be as tall as the Washington Monument, about 500 feet. If it were worth $1 trillion, the stack would be 95 miles high.

Carl, the U.S. treasury reports that $1m dollars in $100 bills weighs 22lbs, so a trillion would weigh 2,200 lbs

now thats a "ton of money"

I hope you have a big suitcase handy

No SMILEYS!

Most people can not even fathom what kind of money they are talking about!

At least not the ones that have to make good on paying for what they are doing to us. IMO

The thing about 1 Trillion Dollars is that it is doubtful that there are 1 Trillion paper Federal Reserve Notes in circulation. The Trillion dollars the Federal Reserve Bank created this week to bail out Wall Street was merely a bookkeeping entry, as those dollars have nothing backing them but the full faith of the banking system and might not be worth the paper required to print.

America has a two-party political system... We have the Stupid party and the Evil party. Every once in a while they get together and do something both stupid & evil, thats called bipartisanship.

Presuming that they don't catch you during the first one, yes

You might want to use one of these.





WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The capture of two cocaine-laden semi-submarines in the past week has highlighted the increasing use of the vessels, which now transport one-third of illicit drugs in the eastern Pacific, a major route between Colombia and the United States, U.S. authorities said Friday.

Sorry, the title of the thread made me do it.

Makes Chrysler's 10 billion dollar loan (paid back in full plus interest) and Mexico's 20 billion dollar loan (paid back in full plus $500 million) look like chump change.

There are 1,000 billions in a trillion.
