160 billion planets in the Milky Way?!

WOW! That is simply an AMAZING number!! Just think, if there were only 100 times that number of planets, there would be a planet for each and every dollar of the US Debt! And, what might be even MORE amazing, if you multiply the number of milky way planets by 500 times.... you have a planet for each and every dollar of US unfunded liabilites!

Now, can we get each and every one of those planets for fork over (or just tax them), like $10 so's we can pay it off?

Feynman said we should stop using the term astronomical numbers when describing huge numbers. He pointed out that political numbers masse more sense,,, that they are much bigger.
