Vizualizing a Trillion Dollars - No Stimulus Package Blog

From the comments section of an article I posted to Newsvine here:

A stack of thousand dollar bills four inches high is a million dollars. One million dollars.

One billion dollars is a stack of one thousand dollar bills 4000 inches tall or 333 1/3 feet high!

Consider the Obama/Pelosi/Reid/democrat stimulus/debt and Recovery Act of 2009. Round off to one trillion dollars. That is a stack of one thousand dollar bills four million inches tall or 63.1313 miles high!

From Senator Mitch McConnell: “If you started spending the day that Jesus was born and you spend a million dollars every single day, you still wouldn't have spent a trillion dollars.”

Thomas Jefferson Chimes in Once More on the Stimulus Package - No Stimulus Package Blog

"To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. If we run into such debts, we (will then) be taxed in our meat and our drink, in our necessities and in our comforts, in our labor and in our amusements. If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people under the pretense of caring for them, they (will) be happy." - Thomas Jefferson, Third President of the United States/Author of the Declaration of Independence, 1791

Thanks for the quote to Michael Reagan, son of the late President Ronald Reagan. Call your Senators and Representative and demand that they vote NO on the stimulus package. (202) 224-3121
