Very good question. Wherever it comes from it comes back some, but not as much as it fell. That is something to note there.
For chuckles, if so inclined, try this...
As a situation arises about money and government have the other person
WRITE out 8 trillion dollars... starting with 100’s, 1000’s, 10,000’s, 100,000’s, etc.
Don’t let them skip any steps, (tell ‘em it’s common core stuff, gotta show yur work, just like yur kids do), must be written out.
For additional fun, ask them to name the denominations as they go.
