Pile of debt would stretch beyond stratosphereSpending like there is no tomorrow when in actuality, if they keep it up, there will be no tomorrow... Posted by DaveH at May 22, 2011 1:27 PM
President Ronald Reagan once famously said that a stack of $1,000 bills equivalent to the U.S. government's debt would be about 67 miles high.
That was 1981. Since then, the national debt has climbed to $14.3 trillion. In $1,000 bills, it would now be more than 900 miles tall.
In $1 bills, the pile would reach to the moon and back twice.
"In $1 bills, the pile would reach to the moon and back twice."
Great idea! solves the debt problem, and gives us lunar access at the same time. Let's do it.
