jp1 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Thank You. I never even thought about it, too many zero's for me! Seems some people have the same concept of spending that my Grandson has, just go to the MAC machine and get more when you run out. When I asked him what happens when the MAC machine runs out :( he said, "just print more everyone has a printer"! Pretty smart lil' bugger ain't he, I see a future president :rolleyes:.

mr_roboteye Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 A trillion is definitely a lot of money, but....here's me with over a million. The two big bricks on the top are each $100,000. I have $50,000 in each hand. The pile is mostly 1's on the top, but there's 5's, 10's and 20's as you go down the pile. PS: I don't look that young or skinny anymore later, Dave R.

NMU Alpine Boarder Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 A trillion is definitely a lot of money, but....here's me with over a million.

PS: I don't look that young or skinny anymore later, Dave R. And here I am, thinking that the $10,000+ we have in our ticket office on a good Friday/Satruday night is a ton of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boarderboy Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 looks like the U.S.' approximate annual expenditure for defense and intelligence services it also looks like the amount of projected additional money "we can't afford" for ten years of reformed, near-universal health care ...

Arclite Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 that looks like the amount of money the state of California is in debt for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 yeah, in 2004 someone ran the numbers and if we cut our defense spending by half there would of been enough money to pay for a single payer health care system, still spend more on the defense than all other top five countries defense spending combined and run a budget surplus.
