So,what DOES a trillion dollars look like?

[Plinker]

Ever wonder what a TRILLION dollars might look like? Picture this, if you will.

A million dollars in tightly bound $1000 bills would produce a stack 4 inches high.

A billion dollars in tightly bound $1000 bills would produce a stack about three hundred feet high.

A trillion dollars in tightly bound $1000 bills would produce a stack nearly sixty three miles high!

Nice to remember the next time we hear our lawmakers spending our money.
This info is from the book The Coming Economic Earthquake by Larry Burkett

It's real, he keeps it in his..... WAIT a minute, that's a trick to get someone to tell you where he keeps it!

Now that we all know what $1 trillion looks like, it'll probably be worth less than a gallon of gas in no time if inflation keeps up the way it's been

I worked at the federal reserve for 5years and I can tell you that I stood on top of 46 billion in cash and I thought that was alot. I also seen cash shredded and put out of circulation, so I got used to money being nothing but green paper.In fact of have a bag of shredded money hanging in my office right now from the fed.
