STAGGERING STATS and GRAPHICS

One Hundred Dollars

$100 - Most counterfeited money  

denomination in the world. Keeps the world moving. 

Ten Thousand  Dollars

$10,000 - Enough for a great  vacation or to buy a used car. Approximately one year of work for the  average human on earth.

One Million Dollars

 $1,000,000 - 

Not as big of a pile as you thought, huh? 

Still this is 92 years of work for the 

average human on earth.

 One Hundred Million Dollars

 $100,000,000 - 

Plenty to go around  for everyone. 

Fits nicely on an ISO / Military standard sized pallet.

One Billion Dollars

 $1,000,000,000 - 

You will need some help when robbing the bank. 

Now we are getting serious!

One Trillion  Dollars

$1,000,000,000,000

When the U.S government speaks about  a 1.7 trillion deficit - this is the volumes of cash the U.S. Government  borrowed in 2010 to run itself.

Keep in mind it is double stacked  pallets of $100 million dollars each, full of $100 dollar bills. You are  going to need a lot of trucks to freight this around.

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.

One Trillion  Dollars

 Comparison of $1,000,000,000,000  

dollars to a standard-sized American Football field 

and European Football field.

Say hello to the Boeing 747-400 

transcontinental airliner that's hiding on the right. 

This was until recently the biggest 

passenger plane in the world.

15 Trillion Dollars

$15,000,000,000,000 - US national debt (credit bill) 

has just topped the 15 trillion 

2 months before Christmas  2011.

Statue of Liberty seems rather  worried as United States national debt passes 20% of the entire world's  combined GDP (Gross Domestic Product). In 2011 the National Debt will exceed  100% of GDP, and venture into the 100%+ debt-to-GDP ratio that the European  PIIGS have (bankrupting nations).

$ 114.5  Trillion Dollars

$114,500,000,000,000.  - US unfunded liabilities

To the right 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 114.5  Trillion dollar super-skyscraper 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.
