This is a very graphic representation of just what it is we are spending these days. Huh.

What does $1 Trillion dollars look like?Follow
I can't help but feel there's some hidden agenda behind this post. But what could it be?!
I had always suspected 1 trillion dollars looked like 10 billion one-hundred dollar bills, but this confirms it.
I saw one of those grafix at the beggining of the Iraq war, It was for $87billion, wich iirc was the amount that the war was going to cost all up.
I didnt post it back then because I knew I would be ridiculed for my anti-war stance.
Inflation huh!

My, oh, my. Cynicism and suspicision around here abounds. The only purpose of this thread was to show just how much cash we are bandying about in terms that we-- I --can understand. I'd be the first to admit that the mere $167 bil Dubya threw at us was eyepopping at the time, but is dwarfed in relation to today's numbers.

I suspect that one trillion dollars really just looks like a computer screen reading
$1,000,000,000,000.00

That last pic kinda felt like an easy "Where's Waldo" puzzle.

You'd need to solve a group of linear equations.
Average_hooker_mass*x + mass_of_blow_per_gram*y = 10,000,000,000*hundred_dollar_mass
Average_hooker_price*x + price_blow_per_gram*y = $1,000,000,000,000
Where x and y would be the quantity of hookers and blow required.

Being the sort of person who enjoys hookers and blow, I don't think I'll be solving linear equations anytime soon.

Wrong again, Totem. 1 Trillion dollars looks like this. (Closeup)

I'm still confused and can't relate to anything in the picture. Can you put one up with a comparison to your two dollar ***** of a mom?
No, sorry, Mental, for a two-pump chump like yourself depictions of my mom in monetary terms of your sexual stamina would take more bandwidth than what the interwebs could possibly handle.
But good luck with that early ejac problem, sport.

Oh, it's not a problem for me.

It's amazing how quickly Obama caused a massive financial meltdown costing us Trillions, isn't it? Years before he took office, that brother is good.

Heh, yeah, cuz all the ladies like it when you ninja-sperm them, right? Get in without them even realizing it, finish the job quick-quick-quick, and leave before they knew what happened. Oh, you're a cocksman alright.

I'd like to see that picture converted into other things. Like a trillion dollar's worth of Columbian blow or White Castle hamburgers or twenty-five cent gumballs.

Let's be fair here though. The meltdown itself didn't cost us a dollar. It's the "fixes" that are costing so much money. We can debate which things are necessary and all that, but let's not ignore that the decision to spend money is made "now".
Unless you're arguing that the decision to spend the most recent 800ish Billion dollars on stimulus was made by anyone other than the people currently sitting in office? Cause that would be a neat trick for Republicans to continue writing legislation two years after they lost control of both houses and for Bush to continue to hold veto power even though he's not president anymore...
Obama didn't inherit the spending he and the Dems are doing right now, so let's not push that little cart too far up the hill, shall we?

Just like it doesn't cost us a dollar if the dollar is hyperinflated by printing money, you mean? I mean, **** real value, so long as we still have the same number of dollars, it's cool.
As my financial planner keeps telling me it's not real until I take the money in my 401(k) out. In the meantime it's just a number on a calculator.
Are you arguing, Smash, that those evil, evil Republicans piled up the combustables that fueled this fiasco, and that Dubya lit the $167 bil match? If so, what were all the Dems doing during this time? Singing campfire songs, roasting weinies, and making smores? While I could agree Obama was given this mess, saying that the responsibility for creating our present situation falls solely at the other party's feet is as intellectually dishonest as a Bernie Madoff investment opportunity.

What are you getting at here? That Obama shouldn't spend any money to fix this crisis? I think that's a great idea. Just call it all even and there's no more problem.

Being rather young, and in debt for furthering my education, I wouldn't be opposed to wiping the entire global economy slate clean. I'm tired of all these little pieces of paper in my pocket, I would much rather trade you my chicken for your biscuit. But then again, I'm studying medicine not economics.
