How much is a trillion dollars ?? |
|
I read in a news magazine today that if you were to stack $100 bills, it would reach for 789 miles. And that it would equal 144 Mt Everests. Oh, to get just one inch of that 789 miles of $100 bills... I think I could stimulate this economy...

.0043" x 1,000,000,000,000 = 4,300,000,000" /12 = 358,333,333' /5,280 = 67,866 miles high, or about 25% of the way to the moon.
If the stack fell over, it would go almost 3 times around the earth.

12. About 7 gal of Milk and 7 loaves of bread for every US citizen |
|
A trillion divided by $5 (milk here is about $3 a gallon and bread is about $2) 2 billion divided by 300 million people = 6.67 trips to Kroger for Milk and bread.
