Yes.

A trillon dollars would get spent wisely. :D

A trillon taxpayer dolalrs would get wasted, misused, given away, and corrupted until another trillion is needed just to fix the mess the first trillion caused. :bang: :rambo3: :rambo2: :hammer: :jawdrop: :bang: :poke:

Would you really want to waste a perfectly good grocery bag by using it to hold soon to be worthless paper?

When the coal man stops taking that paper, I'll stop using it to buy the coal and just start burning it in the stove! :D

I'm guessing each pallet is a 4x4x4... roughly. What's a couple of billion if I'm wrong anyway...



You would have a stack of $100's 4 feet high, 4 feet wide and about 7.5 miles long. Wikipedia lists the average walking speed between 2 and 3 MPH so if it's 2 MPH you could walk along the stack of hundreds that is 4 feet high and 4 feet wide for 2 hours and 45 minutes. :shock:

-or-

Wikipedia also lists the distance from the capital to the Lincoln memorial at 1.9 miles. You could have a stack about 14 or 15 feet wide is probably a little less than the width of a two lane road from white line to white line that would four foot high and wide. You could drive two cars down and and a motorcycle down it.

It's just money!
No, it's not funny when you consider that the nations debt is about 11 trillion (I think) already, so when you figure how large 1 trillion is then times that by about 10. :mad: And there's more to come!

Ponder this one..........

How long would it take you to spend 1 trillion dollars at a rate of 1 million per day?



One trillion is one million million,

One million divided by 365 = 2,739 years. :shock:
