Eight Trillon to the moon and back.

  1. Stacking $100.00 dollar bills the stack could go to the moon and back with 76,861 miles left over. Mind boggling.

    Since 2008, the Federal Reserve has printed enough money to build 2 Dallas Cowboys stadiums every 1 mile across the United States, from the northern tip of Maine to the Southwestern-most corner of the United States.

  4. That's not That mind boggling. That's similar to saying there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on planet earth.
    Expand your horizons, see the much greater wider picture that most people fail to initially perceive and grasp.
     
  5. Yes im aware of the star count, im more concerned with the debasement of my currency, and that event horizon.

    Keeping the rich rich. That money moves into the banks, and accounts controlled by the elite.

    I'd love to see a true audit of where this money is ending up.

    Think about it. Seriously, it's not even possible to audit the spending of trillions.

    And any person running for office who claims they can get it done is to be avoided on the ballot because they are lying or too stupid to know it just is not possible no matter their political persuasion.

    Forgot to also add in my previous post it is not a matter of competence either.

    A trillion dollars is a million millions. Hard to keep track of a single million. Try 999,999 more.
     
  9. I think perhaps you meant the current US deficit, not 8 Trillion dollars because $241 T only covers 68% of the distance between earth and the moon. from Dr. Google "One hundred $100 bills ($10,000) makes a 1.09cm-thick stack, so a million dollars stacked is a little over a meter, a billion dollars is a little over a kilometer, and $241 trillion makes a 262,000km-high stack, which reaches 68% of the way to the moon."

    I just don't get the argument in the first place. Capitalist dogma is that wealth creation isn’t finite. Are you suggesting, like socialists the world over, that it's not? Or are you complaining because you thought you were wealthy until your neighbor showed you what wealth is?
    Concerned with the debasement of your currency? To me it's the same concern as that of a giant asteroid hitting the earth and, if that's your biggest concern, you really have none.
