$100 Million Dollars = 1 year of work for 3500 average Americans
It takes 3500 Americans 1 year of work to make $100 Million dollars. The 155 million Americans who worked with earnings in 2005 on average made $28,567 / year.

In front of the 3500 people is the $100 Million pallet that they all have to work for 1 year to earn.
Look carefully to see a stack of $1 Million and the 35 average Americans required to earn that $1 Million in 1 year.

One Billion Dollars
$1,000,000,000 - You will need some help when robbing the bank.
Interesting fact: $1 million dollars weights 10kg exactly.
You are looking at 10 tons of money on those pallets.



One Trillion Dollars
$1,000,000,000,000
The 2011 US federal deficit was $1.412 Trillion - 41% more than you see here.

If you spent $1 million a day since Jesus was born, you would have not spent $1 trillion by now...
but ~$700 billion- same amount the banks got during bailout.

$16.394 Trillion - 2012 US Debt Ceiling

The US debt ceiling limit D-Day is estimated for September 14, 2012. US Debt has now surpassed the size of US economy in 2011-- rated @ $15,064 Trillion.



Statue of Liberty seems rather worried as United States national debt is soon to pass 20% of the entire world's combined economy (GDP / Gross Domestic Product).

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” - Thomas Jefferson

122.1 Trillion Dollars



$122,100,000,000,000. - US unfunded liabilities by Dec 31, 2012.
Abovet you can see the pillar of cold hard $100 bills that dwarfs the
WTC & Empire State Building - both at one point world's tallest buildings.
If you look carefully you can see the Statue of Liberty.

The 122.1 Trillion dollar super-skyscraper wall is the amount of money the U.S. Government
knows it does not have to fully fund the Medicare, Medicare Prescription Drug Program,
Social Security, Military and civil servant pensions. It is the money USA knows it will not
have to pay all its bills.

If you live in USA this is also your personal credit card bill; you are responsible along with
everyone else to pay this back. The citizens of USA created the U.S. Government to serve
them, this is what the U.S. Government has done while serving The People.

Wow... 11 and-a-half year old thread.....wonder whatever became of ol' spandos anyway?

I look at it as if $1 = 1 second - so:

1,000,000 seconds is about 11 days

1,000,000,000 seconds is about 31 years

1,000,000,000,000 seconds is about 31,000 years.

So in a decade or so every dollar the Gov collects in taxes will be used to pay the interest on all the debts

Theoretically, no money left for anything else

Do they? Warren Buffett and His Secretary on Their Tax Rates

Bosanek pays a tax rate of 35.8 percent of income, while Buffett pays a rate at 17.4 percent.

We could benefit from a simplified tax code with lower rates and fewer deductions but overall I think our taxes are pretty well balanced.

Well The entitlement mentality is the enemy within

Government shut down with no end in sight because the Democrats wanna give 1.5 trillion to illegal immigrants, I gotta keep that Spicket open for votes

It’s all a choice. Low taxes, social spending, etc. As Krugman once said, “the U.S. is an insurance company with a massive military”.

Nobody choose a 40 day government shut down, except Chucky the bad seed and his band of Star Wars bar scene buddies

Ironically, claiming to be for healthcare premiums because Obamacare has failed ….. something The Democrats themselves instituted into the United States

Chucky offers to just continue as before for one year but not mentioning that idea only puts about $300 billion in the pockets of the healthcare insurance companies with no guarantee that the premiums would come down

Up Chuck is an idiot

Obamacare has failed ...

It's broken yes but it's an improvement over what we had before it and it's better than anything that trump and MAQA has offered (they say they have concepts of a plan but won't/can't tell us what it is).

Speaking of the debt, trump's tax cuts and the Budget Busting Behemoth have contributed as much as anything. MAQA Republicans are as fiscally conservative as Democrats.

The blame is he didn’t go far enough, failing to establish a public option………like EVERY OTHER advanced economy that spends way less on healthcare with equal to if not better outcomes.

Approximately 16% of the population was uninsured prior to the ACA. That's dropped to approximately 8% today. If you were one of the approximately 8% who now has insurance it was not a "scare". That's roughly 23 million people.

No I’m not against healthcare

For starters, I’m against excessive testing, scare tactics and playing on your emotions that are designed to get you into their testing “universe” they will do this especially if they like your insurance

Body scans, MRIs, CT scans that are really not necessary and very expensive

CT scans are really not good for you anyway. And these scans always find something that wasn’t really what they were looking for in the first place to keep you going back to the doctor. You’re stuck emotionally because nobody wants to die and the medical field uses this against you. One of the best things I heard a doctor say was “you’re not gonna die from this, you’ll die with this” … he wasn’t talking to me, but the person he was talking to benefitted emotionally from that statement

And one of the reasons there is so much testing now is because everyone has insurance… and nobody negotiates on the price of medical procedures because they think their insurance will cover it ….so why negotiate …. these insurance companies can charge whatever they want

Oh man is there a crap ton of ignorance in this post.

What tests are necessary in your book? Have you ever been referred for an MRI? Are you aware of the hoops you often have to go through to get one? I am.

What about testing costs before deductibles are met? I had a good friend who I helped get into recovery in January. The cost for a 28 day program was $36,000. He had a $6,000 deductible through his employer based plan.

Have a seat son. You’re way over your skis on this one.
