What Does a Trillion Dollars Look Like?

Gail, I know that I have a wierd form of logic, most home inspectors do. But I do agree with you whole heartedly that there is enough pork in the stimuls bill to feed the nation for a good long time on a diet of - well, whatever flows out of DC. Thankfully, we do get a chance to change the faces on the Hill every few years. If deficit spending would cure our ills, we would already be out of this recession. - Look what happened in Japan with all thier "Stimulus" spending - it doesn't work...
Randall... I'm with you, I'll just take a couple of 4" stacks. - Would fit my need quite well...
Now that is a lot of bucks.... Let see how many zeros..
1,000,000,000,000.00
I kind of like zeros!
your friend in Charlottesville!

I get it now.
If the party in power SAYS that it is a stimulus bill and not pork, it's stimulus.
If the party in power SAYS that a Thousand Billion Dollars passed out to cronies is stimulous, it's stimulous.
If the party in power SAYS that this will help the economy, giving a Thousald Billion Dollars to cronies will help the economy.
After all, they wouldn't lie to us would they??????????????????????????????
Charles... I'm with You. The more the merrier...
Lenn... They are only lieing if their lips are moving...
Michael - and don't forget the interest, it is borrowed money. And strangely enough, on of the reasons for not doling out money to the taxpayers, we would only use it to get out of debt, and that wouldn't stimulate the economy. But birth control will.
Mike, But isn't that what the banks and other business are doing? I think that most folks would spend the dough on a vacation, TV or something else...
Michael, glad you posted this, I had heard something similiar on the radio but was driving and couldn't write it down. We toss the T word around like it is a dollar. Thanks
Missy and Konnie... You are right! This is a daunting about of money and the folks on the Hill act as if it is nothing... I for one am very concerned about our children and their children...
Michael,
It sort of puts a face on it, doesn't it? What a mess!
Mike in Tucson
Michael - If we would tell congress to go home for about 10 years this would all be straighten out. In fact, if we would undo the last 20 years of what congress has done, and start over, we wouldn't have this problem.
But Michael but then all the people that already have all the money won't get more money:)
Michael,
I thought the stimulus package was intended to help those folks in trouble as a result of the Put everyone in a home of their own" fiasco. Silly me! Just another avenue for uncontrolled government spending. God help us!
Charles... When you put it that way, I stand corrected...
Hal... I like that - Home of their own fiasco...
Michael, the stats are astounding, but why not to your question? Why not give the taxpayers stimulus money (with restrictions) to stimulate the economy? Why not let us decide where and how the money is spent? This should get some momentum....it would unfreeze the credit markets by paying down debt.
I am going ful steam ahead with this, maybe, just maybe you have started something.
Bo
since we will be paying it back we might as well get the use of it. Makes sence Michael.
That visual is astounding. If I took up all my twenties in my house and laid them side by side I might have enough to line the bottom of a cake pan!
