How much is a trillion dollars ??

[kentuck]

I read in a news magazine today that if you were to stack $100 bills, it would reach for 789 miles. And that it would equal 144 Mt Everests. Oh, to get just one inch of that 789 miles of $100 bills... I think I could stimulate this economy...

3. Who's gonna get most of that trillion??

I don't think our little tax break will even make a dent in that mountain of money. Where is it going??

5. A dollar bill = .0043 inches thick. You can handle the rest.

8. So:

.0043" x 1,000,000,000,000 = 4,300,000,000" /12 = 358,333,333' /5,280 = 67,866 miles high, or about 25% of the way to the moon.

If the stack fell over, it would go almost 3 times around the earth.

6. Five times the amount that went into the

Social Security "Trust Fund" last year.

9. How much is nine billion in shrink wrapped hundred dollar bills?

How many pallets would that make and how many Huge C-4 Transport Cargo Jets would it take to carry it all. Then how quickly could it all just disappear into thin air? No one knows anything.....:shrug:..... Imagine that!!!

11. About $999,999,999,999.99 more than my net worth, give or take a few bucks.

12. About 7 gal of Milk and 7 loaves of bread for every US citizen

A trillion divided by $5 (milk here is about $3 a gallon and bread is about $2)
2 billion divided by 300 million people = 6.67 trips to Kroger for Milk and bread.
