USA National Debt in Numbers (4 pics)

Awesome how people don't have what to do and make those comparations
interesting anyway

How tall would it be in pennies??

that's assuming we could ever find that many 100 dollar bills! THAT'S the problem!

raymond.wendt, we print, them of course! Just raise the debt higher to cover the new bills!

Yeah, but pallets of $100 bills stacked into a square only makes the US national debt one cubed mile.

One more reason to believe that civilization will soon crush under it's own weight...

I think the big problem with the actual finance world is, that they can do whatever they want. And that there is more virtual money than things of worth existing

Shredded and compacted will only be about 1/2 a cubic mile.
So the harder we think about it, we can reduce this to nothingness

A strap of 100's is only that thick if brand spankin' new. In reality this stack would be much higher unless all of the bills were freshly made for the purpose.

So, when is it payback time and how?

Imagine the interest on this!!!.
