The Jews did it 2500 years ago every 50 years and called the Jubilee Year it sounds better than anything Congress could cook up.

With what the U.S. spent today, we could have fought another war.

1st I would suggest that you redo the math.

If one million dollars weighs 22-pounds what does a BILLION dollars weigh?
Try 1,000 times 22-pounds= 22,000 pounds

Then divide by 2,000 pounds for "One ton". That is 11-tons.
That means that you will have to make more than two trips with your one ton truck.

Now..... figure out what ONE trillion dollars truly weighs......
1,000 times the above? {11,000,000 tons }

PS:
I once held $180,000.00 cash all in 100-bills. It was well over 6-inches high.

What a coincidence, I give a course in how to make a million dollars trading stocks... First, you need to start with two million dollars.
