A trillion here, a trillion there, soon you're NOT talking real money.

At One million dollars a DAY and counting backwards, you would be at $770 Billion around the Birth of Christ.
You don’t hit $1 Trillion until you get to the Battle of Thermopylae.

soon you're NOT talking real money. In more ways than one.
When we Zimbabwe ourselves to the point that a candy bar costs 1 trillion.

The Republican GOP controls the House and the pursestrings. For them to complain about Obama and Reid is disgusting and telling. All spending is their responsibility now. Do not give them a break.

If you start spending a million dollars a SECOND, it would take 32,000 YEARS to spend a trillion dollars.
We are so screwed.

It isn't rel money, it's fiat money.
Someone once said that all paper money returns to it's intrinsic value, zero.

It's not real, because:
1. For the average person, the concept of having $1 trillion is so unfathomable, they cannot relate and the numbers are irrelevant.
For the average politician, it's someone else's money, so the numbers are irrelevant for them as well.

What happens when they stop pumping the market with fiat money?
I know a lot of folks that are feeling pretty secure with their market returns as of late

One dollar per second = 32,000 years.

Um ...
If you were spending $1 million per second, that converts to $60M per minute, $3.6B per hour, or $86.4B per day. At that rate you’d hit the $1T mark during the eleventh day of your spending spree.
The federal government doesn’t spend quite that fast (yet) so it takes a year to spend ~$4T.
