How Many People Would it Take to Make $1,000,000,000,000?

Let’s get a few things straight first about our population.

• Each person works 45 years
• Each person makes $30,000 per year

Now, remember, the stimulus bill before congress with interest equals around 1 trillion in spending.  So what’s the answer?

741,000 people.

Has that sunk in yet?  Thats 741,000 people working 45 years, each making $30k/yr.

Wait, we can’t forget the 2 trillion dollar TARP 2 that the Obama administration announced.

So, in only 3 weeks of being president, Obama want’s to spend 3 trillion dollars.  That’s an easy trillion per week!

So how many people would it take to make 3 trillion?

2.2 million people, each working 45 years making 30k per year!

What have we done?!
