    Yeah, get Bernie Sanders in there. He'll have it up to sixteen digits in no time.

    We need a debt bigger than the world GDP. Then audit the Fed--that'll be some comedy right there...

    Kind of a stark comparison with 1 billion (no deficit) in 60 years, cumulatively. What is wrong with this picture?

    Thanks for the heads up, Danke.

    Wow, you couldn't literally burn that much physical money in that amount of time.

    If you may recall, that was the time of a budget impass and debt was frozen for a while until a budget could be passed. The Treasury was doing all kinds of accounting tricks to keep from going over the limit but once the budget passed, the debt was allowed to increase again so several month's debt showed up all at once.

    In April, 2015 debt was $18.1 trillion.
    October 2015 it was still "just" $18.1 trillion.

    Of course the government lies. What else would you expect from a system whose sole purpose is to preserve cisgendered white heterosexual male privilege?

    The binary homosexual vs heterosexual is so outdated and offensive. Sexuality, like gender, is fluid. It cannot be boxed into just "homsoexual" or "heterosexual".

    You're a special snowflake for sure.

    I suppose thats all in how you count your cards.... for the sake of the poll take homosexual to mean "not 99.99 or better straight"

    See that's the problem with cis heterosexual-identifying males. Their machismo makes them think it's "gay" to not be 99.99% "straight".

    To put it to scale.... if you were to take that trillion dollars and print it into 1 dollar bills...
    If you burned those bills it would be equal in BTU's to the annual propane consumption of Vermont.
