Does your speak it?!
that’s wasn’t all that helpful for visualising it to be honest
thats what i was thinking i thought they would show us a trillion dollars
Yeah I hate these “visualizing, put in perspective” videos that totally miss the point. Send the US on vacation for 11 weeks just doesn’t have any wow factor, because we actually can’t visualize that either. A cup of coffee for 9 million years also doesn’t work, as we cannot visualize 9 million years.
You have to say shit like, ” everytime you bought something in your entire life (something we can visualize, it’s our life) , ie. iPod or Clothes or Ps3 you bought a 1000 of them (puts in perspective of our own experience in relation to 1 trillion dollars).

Wow Africa? Seems like a certain president is following his roots, and fucking all of us.
A trillion dollars is what Obama wants to give to all his racist black friends.

Money is worthless, the fractional reserve system is broken and that’s why they can get away with printing 1 trillion dollars out of thin air. Think about it, where did that money come from? Nowhere, it’s made of nothing and it should be useless. All money is useless and is creating from nothing.
Hey wait a minute, how can the central bank lend out a trillion dollars? Who is to pay that back? Interest! Debt! Goooooooooo America!
Actually, it’s made of paper and ink. Really. Try buying something with your “thin air” at the grocery store. They’ll have security escort you from the premises. Money has value in that it can be exchanged for goods and services. Thus money’s three purposes are 1) a medium of exchange, 2) a unit of account, and 3) a store of value. As a medium of exchange, I can reliably take that money where I can trade it for something I need/want. As a store of value I can trust that for a specified amount of money I can obtain an equal value of goods/services (determined by market forces). In a global market if your currency has no stability, people won’t accept it reducing its utility as a medium of exchange. And why would it have no stability? Because when you print off a bunch of money and inject it into a system where amount/quality the goods and services haven’t changed, then it takes more money to purchase said goods and services. The primary concepts here are inflation and devaluation which affect individuals more than national scale “interest” and “debt”. I’ll let you exercise your google-fu to get up to speed. So shove your existentialist “it doesn’t exist so nobody should care” dogma and lrn2economics.
Money can also buy you grammar education, telling you to indent multiple paragraphs! Who’da thunk.
I’m being criticized over paragraph structure by someone who a) didn’t indent his own paragraph, and b) used who’da as a contraction? Begone abominable peon!
yeah and the us was responsible for 9/11 dont forget that
all money is made of debt.

…..That’s the point…. It’s a boatload of money….Actually, in perspective, it’s 82 Nimitz-class Aircraft carriers full of money, if that helps.
