Default Does anyone else find it scary that the federal government

is appearing to take a stance against the people of this country?


The majority of people say they don't want this bill in its current form. Their response? "We will pass this by any means necessary"

They fail to heed the will of the people. Tolerance is the sign of a dying society I guess.

Yeah it's disgusting. The Democrats are all sitting there thinking "What are they going to do? Vote Republican? LOL!".

I wonder why we would be against spending a Trillion dollars on the health care bill, after spending a Trillion dollars on the economic FAILout?

A Trillion dollars...

We'll start with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. Most everyone has seen them, slighty fewer have owned them. Guaranteed to make friends wherever they go.


A packet of one hundred $100 bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains $10,000. Fits in your pocket easily and is more than enough for week or two of shamefully decadent fun.


Believe it or not, this next little pile is $1 million dollars (100 packets of $10,000). You could stuff that into a grocery bag and walk around with it.


While a measly $1 million looked a little unimpressive, $100 million is a little more respectable. It fits neatly on a standard pallet...


And $1 BILLION dollars... now we're really getting somewhere...


Next we'll look at ONE TRILLION dollars. This is that number we've been hearing so much about. What is a trillion dollars? Well, it's a million million. It's a thousand billion. It's a one followed by 12 zeros.

You ready for this?

It's pretty surprising.











Scroll down...











Ladies and gentlemen... I give you $1 trillion dollars...


Notice those pallets are double stacked.
...and remember those are $100 bills.

So the next time you hear someone toss around the phrase "trillion dollars"... that's what they're talking about.
