Just like Carl Sagan used to say, "Billions and billions..." If you are just joining, I have been doing a progressive series on how many days will it take to get to the grand amount our Prez and congress are going to be billing our kids in the future. Today is the day I picked to give you another zero, added to yesterdays... so now our figure is $ 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 . 0 0 , I guess that would one hundred Billion . It is nowhere near our deficit yet but it is over what tht Prez recently requested. ( see http://87billion.com/ ) Just to get an inkling of what that would be like to see well it would be huge... here is another guy concerned about this amount... http://www.correntewire.com/remember_when_100_billion_dollars_seemed_like_a_lot_of_money although in the war torn country of Zimbabwe 100 Billion of their dollars is only equal to one of ours...that is literally $1.00. http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/africa/07/19/zimbabwe.banknotes/index.html Man, I could be a rich man over there. What is the world coming to.? Think about it. By the way, this picture is nowhere near how large a stack this will be. Check out the http://87billion.com/ site for a more accurate depiction. It is quite impressive. WOW.
