27. We must appease the prim and proper
Ann Coulter types who will drop a log if the 'fuxtillion' were to become popularized...how would she speak to us liberals ?

BTW, isn't Bill Gates already a 'fuxtillionaire' ?

I will save the general usage of the verb for old English agricultural practices, as it originated. Someone else properly is calling it Bushillions of dollars.

12. "A trillion and one"
That's if we're talking integers.

Three orders of magnitude higher get you a Quadrillion.

Don't worry - we won't see a debt that size ever...

The economy will tank and we'll regress to bloody feudal factions first.

20. Faith
Because after that we're all looking at the gaping maw of inescapable debt and even science can't help us then.

Not that any of the administration's faithful have ever trusted science anyway.

23. 'federal government default on debt' aka 'bankrupcy'

It also involves George W. Bush being run out of town tarred and feathered on a rail- by his buddies, but that doesn't actually answer your question. Ok, maybe it does....
