Thanks friend. I know I’m missing a lot - and holes are ready for poking in this - but is my math close?

No, your math isn’t close. Your plan would cost $230 trillion.

With 2.5T, you can afford to give everybody $10,000.

Well your math is "close" if you consider being off by several decimal places "close."

Here is the easy way to figure large numbers with lots of zeros.

Say you want to know what 1 million x 300 Million is.

or 1,000,000 x 300,000,000 = _______________.

Just remove the 1 from 1 million and add the remaining zeros onto the 300 Million and you will get your answer.

IOW $1,000,000 x $300,000,000 = $300,000,000,000,000
