Great news! They have a new clock on order and it will be able to run out to 999 trillion dollars. The way things are going, they may have to upgrade it in a year or two. :)

If AIG goes on another spa retreat, they may need it even sooner than that. :mad3:

You guys are wayyyyy too optimistic. I heard that Zimbabwe has just issued 1 billion dollar notes and that it costs 1 billion Zimbabwe dollars to buy a loaf of bread due to their hyperinflation. When hyperinflation hits the US, 999 trillion US dollars won't buy a tank of gas never mind reflect our ever increasing US debt.
