Thinking about how fast money is being spent I wouldn’t be surprised to see a quadrillion dollar budget in the not-so-distant future.

Uh, aren’t we nearly there now???
Remember the story about the sage who invented the game of chess and his reward? For his reward, he asked the king to place one grain of wheat on the first square of the chess board, two on the second, 4 on the third, and 8 on the fourth, and so on and so fourth until he got to the last square. The king thought him a fool but soon realized that there weren’t enough grains of wheat in all the world to complete the reward (18,446,744,073,709,551,615 grains). Debt is kind of like the wheat.
