How Much Is A Trillion Dollars?

Recently, my friends and I were discussing what a trillion dollars would look like. We were talking about how much interest was being paid on our national debt. Way back when the national debt was "only" six trillion dollars, our interest payments on that debt were one trillion dollars per year. Today, our national debt is rapidly approaching 12 trillion dollars, so the interest payment would have to be at least two trillion dollars. Today I got an E-mail that put it all in perspective.

This pack of 100 dollar bills is 1/2 of an inch thick = $10,000

If you had a million dollars in one hundred dollar bills, it would look like this.

One Hundred million dollars worth of one hundred dollar bills looks like this.

One billion dollars in hundred dollar bills, looks like this.
(that is 10 pallets of $100 bills)

ARE YOU READY? THIS IS ONE TRILLION DOLLARS, IN $100 BILLS. THAT LITTLE RED DOT ON THE LEFT IS A PERSON. THESE ARE DOUBLE STACKED PALLETS OF $100 BILLS. THAT IS HOW MUCH MONEY WE USED TO PAY IN INTEREST ON OUR NATIONAL DEBT EVERY YEAR.

WE NOW PAY CLOSE TO DOUBLE THAT AMOUNT (2 TRILLION $) IN INTEREST ALONE ON OUR NATIONAL DEBT. IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, THE GOVERNMENT TAKES IN A TOTAL OF 3 TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR. WHEN THE INTEREST ON OUR NATIONAL DEBT CONSUMES ALL OF THE GOVERNMENTS REVENUE, WHICH WILL BE SOON, LIFE AS YOU KNOW IT WILL BE OVER.
DOESN'T ANYONE CARE WHY WE ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN? ISN'T ANYONE CURIOUS WHO WE PAY THIS INTEREST TO? THIS IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. WE (THE GOVERNMENT OF THE U.S.) COULD AND SHOULD BE PRINTING OUR OWN MONEY, INTEREST FREE, ACCORDING TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. IF WE DID, WE WOULD NEVER OWE 10 CENTS TO ANY INTERNATIONAL BANKERS LIKE THE FEDERAL RESERVE. THEN, ALL THAT MONEY THAT YOU SEE ABOVE (THOSE ARE $100 BILLS) COULD BE SPENT IN AMERICA ON AMERICANS AND FOR AMERICANS. THERE WOULD BE PLENTY OF JOBS AND THERE WOULD BE NO FINANCIAL CRISIS.

WAKE UP AMERICA!! WHO DO YOU THINK IS COLLECTING THIS INTEREST EACH AND EVERY YEAR? WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT THEY ARE DOING WITH IT?
GET OFF THE PROZAC, PUT THE BEER DOWN, TURN OFF YOUR TV AND TAKE YOUR COUNTRY BACK!!!
