Piles of Money makes ya stop and think!

Subject:  Piles of Money
TAKE A MINUTE TO ACTUALLY STUDY THE ILLUSTRATION. KEEP
SCROLLING TO THE END BECAUSE THE POINT IS QUITE CLEAR.

 

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, eh? Still this is 92 years worth 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 wooden pallet. 

 
One Billion Dollars  $1,000,000,000 - You will need some help when robbing the bank. Now we are getting to serious money!

 

 

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 that was borrowed in 2010 to run
things. Keep in mind it is made of 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 when Jesus was born, you would have not spent $1 trillion by now...but ~$700 billion
- the same amount the banks got during the 2008 bailout.

 

 

One Trillion Dollars  Comparison of $1,000,000,000,000 dollars to a standard-sized American Football field and a 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 - Unless the U.S. government fixes the budget, US national debt (credit bill) will top 15 trillion by
Christmas 2011. The 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 bankrupting European nations (PIIGS) have.

 

 

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 Medicare, the Medicare Prescription Drug Program, Social Security + Military and civil servant pensions. It is the
money the 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. 

 

The unfunded liability is calculated on current tax and funding inputs, and future demographic shifts in US Population. 

 

Note: On the above 114.5T image the size of the base of the money pile is half a trillion, not 1T as on 15T image.
The height is double. This was done to reflect the base of Empire State and WTC more closely.
