Hell, if he had 4 trillion he’d already be paying close to 3 trillion to the govt anyway in taxes.

...until his $4 trillion bank balance was found to be an online glitch. So, if they can do it why can't the govt.? Just reprogram the PC's and we're out of debt.

Reggie is going to be in a world of crap when the IRS sends him a tax bill for more than a trillion dollars.
To: Mr. K
3 trillion is about how much 0bamugabe increases the debt every year so it wouldn’t solve the problem.

Reggie Theus said he would have used $3 trillion of his windfall to pay down the national debt. Problem is Congress would also have seen it as a three trillion dollar windall and spent 7.

That’s a false headline. Quotation marks shouldn’t be used by journalists to convey irony or sarcasm.

The CBO said that the total of unfunded liabilities totaled $72T. The government took $13.4T out of Social Security. Big numbers mean nothing to our simpleminded bureaucrats.

Pretty soon - we’ll all be trillionaires.
With Fedzilla’s spending habits and no incentives to save - it’ll take $10,000 just to buy a loaf of bread.

...every American household would need to contribute $140,000 each to entirely pay down the national debt... Now add the fact that there are an additional 85 trillion in off the books liabilities for Social Security, Medicare, and other.
Now add in the fact that about half of the households are unable to support themselves.
We are way upside down and the first high wind that comes along will be a disaster.

Where did he get three of those trillion dollar coins? Better not give Barry any ideas.
