Damn that is alot of pallets never would have thought it would be that big, maybe Obama will just make billion dollar bill, with the F.R.S. and inflation it wont be long before we need it.

Years ago Dave Barry came up with a new unit of currency - The Stealth. The was when the B-2 Stealth bomber came on line at almost $1B each. Only 21 have ever been built. $1T is 1,000 Stealths.

My blood pressure just went up again. Thanks guys.

Gates has about 1/20th of that and worked almost 30 years to get it.

$1T is about $3,333 for every man, woman, and child in the U.S.

The U.S. National debt is about $11T, or about $35,000 for every man, woman, and child in the U.S.

If an average family has 3.14 people (census figure), then the average family owes about $100,000 of national debt.

About 10% of families are below the poverty level, so families with even a little money are burdened with $110,000 because of the poverty folks.

The median family income is about $50,000.

To pay off $110,000 in 4 years at 2% (T-Bill rate and Obama's term) requires about $2385/month in federal taxes.

Any family payin' more than $2385/month in federal income tax is pullin' their weight. Otherwise they're dead weight!

Basically the average household income would have to rise to $145K/year for us to pay this off in 4 years at the current tax rates. Not gonna happen.

Great math. But as I understand it the tax money the governments get from you or I is a small figure compared to what they get from business. Like wal-mart, the gap, lennys construction ect.

Thank you for reminding them.

Goes the same for the insanely rich, they pay WAY more than their weight.
