One trillion dollars could buy a lot of bling
One trillion dollars could buy most anything
One trillion dollars buying bullets, buying guns
One trillion dollars in the hands of killers, thugs

Sign it

Woah oh oh, woah oh, woah oh oh oh
**** the world, a lot of people gotta die tonight
Woah oh oh, woah oh, woah oh
**** the world,
**** 'em all

One trillion dollars to Africa, Iraq
One trillion dollars and it's never coming back
One trillion dollars could buy some bad-ass drugs
One trillion dollars makes me wanna kill myself

Woah oh oh, woah oh, woah oh oh oh
**** the world, a lot of people gotta die tonight
Woah oh oh, woah oh, woah oh
**** the world, yeah, yeah
**** 'em all

Until the sun burns from the sky
Until the sun burns so bright this world is no more
Sun burns from the sky...
And all the people are just dust on the ground

One trillion dollars could buy a heart, a soul
One trillion dollars buying nations - all the world
One trillion dollars could make the fat lady sing
One trillion dollars, what a ******** useless thing!

Woah oh oh, woah oh, woah oh oh oh,
**** the world, a lot of people gotta die tonight
Woah oh oh, woah oh, woah oh oh oh,
**** the world, a lot of people gotta die tonight
Woah oh oh, woah oh, woah oh oh oh,
**** loads of money spent will show us wrong from right
**** the world
**** 'em all

Joe Gress · #12 03-07-2009, 08:31 PM

I would not be surprised if we're casually throwing around the term quadrillion within seven years.

The most I've ever had in my possession at one time (in cash, mind you, greenbacks, not my bank account) was $700. I had a picture of it too, but not anymore. So, ten thousand is hard for me to imagine, never being in posession of a $100 bill for more than one hour. This is all as mind blowing to me as the movie Altered States, and that made ever a little bit of sense.

dancehallclasher · #17 03-08-2009, 01:33 AM

That illustration reminded me of our little fiasco in 2004 where we were actually sending hundreds of tons (literally) of pallets of $100 bills to Iraq but didn't pay too much attention to what happened to them. Oy.

Now change those 100$s to .50cents,that'd be a picture.

And, that doesn't include most of the stimulus package because it hasn't been spent yet.

So, here is a question that bothers me, but I've never heard it asked. What happens when the interest payment alone on that debt exceeds revenues? For example: the government had to pay 451 billion in interest last year. Tax revenues were only 1.5 trillion. With the increased spending now it may get to a point in the future were all the government can do is pay the interest.
