From one of the embedded links above:

So here you go, the U.S. National Debt in $100 dollar bills...

I cannot vouch for the calculations, but what difference does it make? We’re doomed.

This has to be one of the best practical explanations of this that I have ever seen. I'll be using it on several libs that don't have a clue.

That’s several times bigger than my house.

Something like this, under the Obama administration.

Looks bogus to me, but I’ve seen this before and I think it was 1,000 dollar bills.

Look at the 3rd image. That is NOT 100 packets of $100 bills. It looks more like about 5 packets.

BTW, one reason the government stopped printing $500 and $1000 bills is so large sums of money will be more detectable and harder to transport clandestinely. Or so I heard.

If the US debt was only one trillion dollars, and we repaid it at the tune of $1.00 per second...

It would take us 31,688 years to pay off the debt.

One trillion seconds ago no human civilization had written language.

One trillion seconds is more than 32,000 years.

The American government is currently more than $14 trillion in debt.

No wonder the American dollar is worth 1/1400 of an ounce of gold.

A few months ago a writer to the St. Pete Times (FL) suggested a fix to the nation’s unemployment and economy woes. Give the 40 million people that are age 50 and above a million dollars with the stipulation that they quit their jobs, buy a car from Detroit and pay off their mortgage. A friend forwarded this to me saying this could be the end of our problems. I shot back, “did you do the math?” He said that it was a $400 billion dollar cost. I corrected him that no, it was $40 TRILLION and to cover the cost (by printing more money), the car alone would cost $1 million. He sheepishly replied that his calculator did not have enough zeros.

EXCELLENT Graphics - real eye-opener! It was just 50 years ago that the late Senator Dirksen was ATTRIBUTED as saying “A Billion here and a Billion there and pretty soon you are talking about real money!” Sheesh!

I have two questions.

1. just how much would all of that weigh, minus the pallets?

2. how do I go about getting my hands on that stack?
