What you see is 1 Trillion dollars.

This particular rendering was made through Google SketchUp, Google's 3D modeling software. Measurements were taken of a $10,000 stack of $100 bills (just half an inch thick!) and pretty much multiplied from there using simple geometry. In that trillion dollar shot, each pallet holds $100 million...and the pallets are double stacked. That little blob on the left is an average man.

how much is a trillion? roughly all of teh earmarks combined. btw loved teh drawing. you make this/that?

that is cool. you should make another one showing the US deficit of 10.9 trillion.

WOWZA!

HAHA 

$100 mill a pallet, 10,000 pallets. Piece o cake.
The buddha has that much in his sock drawer.
Of course that's why I am always stealing wifey's socks.
Yea, one day I had to come to work wearing $100 bills instead of socks.
Cool.

sure, just open up a bank, run shady deals and then cry to the govt. that you're about to go broke. 

Well no bank or shady deals but I am about to go broke.
So how do I get that

i'd like some too. not alot. just enough to support my family long enough for me to go to school. 2 years.   

Someone check my math on this. A stack of 1 trillion dollar bills @ .0045"/thickness would be over 71,000 miles tall? Maybe I've got a decimal point in the wrong place. It would take 42 days to cover that distance at 70mph!

Now someone calculate how much ocean they would fill if you folded them into origami swans  and if you floated all of them in the ocean how much water would they displace 

in in almost relevance: the obama psalm


The Obama is my shepherd, I shall not question.
He maketh me to lie down for gun control,
he leadeth me to carbon credits.
He restoreth the Fairness Doctrine.
He leadeth me in the paths of "change we can believe in", for his agenda's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of socialism, I will fear no big government,
for thou art with me.
Thy rhetoric and thy teleprompter, they comfort me.
Thou preparest socialized medicine before me in the presence of mine enemies.
Thou annointest my head with kool-aid, my tax bill runneth over.

Surely nannyism and Big Brother shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of Obama forever.

Oh that's good stuff right there

They would displace 1.1 million tons (1.3 million cubic yards).

one could spend the interest ALONE on a trli. and never LOSE money lol. would be nice but then again youd ahve everybody asking for a loan. and have long lost nigerian cousins all of a sudden knocking on your door

Not if you're getting 2% and inflation is running at 7.
WTF kinda cooked up BS is this.
Inflation is running more than 7%.
Cool.

A TAX POEM

At first I thought this was funny....then I realized the awful truth of it. Be sure to read all the way to the end!

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.                   

Put these words
Upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me to my doom...'

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.

We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the hell happened?
Can you spell 'politicians!'

And I still have to 'press 1' for English!?!?!?!?

GRRRRRRR pressing 1 for english is one of my biggest pet peeves!
