Looks like the new Obama cigarette tax went into effect.

[jessduntno]

Those new taxes are getting steep...

[justkate]

One pack smokes? .85

Tax on one pack smokes? $23,148,855,308,184,499.15

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Does the man make over $350,000?

Obama was probably just trying to bill him for his healthcare plan.

[Gaffer]

I’d have directly applied for a “too-big-to-fail” bailout...yessssirrrreeeeee. you betcha!

You know what I find so funny in this (and sad too.. a reflection of how far America has fallen) is that this guy had to ARGUE with Bank of America.

I mean how dumb is BofA. Where is our logic? Our Commonsense?

If I am a banker and I see a 23 Quardrillion dollar charge, why am I not doing anything to fix my bloody internal systems that even allowed it.

Also, why am I hassling the poor customer.

In fact if this guy has a magic credit card (AMEX BLACK) that allows a 23 Quadrillion dollar charge, I should be sending him a toaster oven.

After all the 2% commission that Visa makes (and shares with every bank) would be worth 460 TRILLION dollars

[Vigilanteman]

I think I’d contact the vendor and ask for a share of the overcharge in return for paying the overdraft fee, bankruptcy filing and other consequences of the Bank of America error. :-)

[b4its2late]

Just a taste of things to come.

California can pay Bank of America with IOU’s. Maybe this guy could write up an IOU for 23 quadrillion dollars.

[libertarian27]

Most of the cost was taxes too....

[martin_fierro]

Not to worry.

The Bank of Obama's got him covered (may take more than 1 check).

[earlJam]

Wow.

A couple of mistakes like that in one day and I think my account would bounce.

[Salamander]

In a WV CVS drug store, I paid for a bottle of shampoo with a hundred dollar bill.

The kid rang it up and the register said that I had $995.37 change due.

[the contrary little snot wouldn’t gimme it]....:))

I want to urge all Freepers to avoid posts and threads using the term ‘quadrillion’.

If this gets into popular usage, it’s only a matter of time until Obama gets wind of it and learns there are numbers bigger than a trillion.

[TurtleUp]

Muszynski says he spent two hours on the phone with Bank of America trying to sort out the string of numbers and the $15 overdraft fee.

I've been boycotting BofA since TARP, but it looks like there are other reasons they got in trouble.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Sounds like they are getting ready for Obama’s Zimbabwe-style inflation.

[GreenHornet]

It’s a good thing he didn’t buy a carton.

[McGruff]

Dude I’ll get you cigarettes for life for $23,148,855,308,184,499.00.
