Thoughts on the Federal Bailout

2 months ago

Right off the bat, let's say: $700 bil is a lot of money. A hell of a lot.

This really doesn't seem all that adequate a description, so let's explain it in terms of:

• Chocolate. Take a medium quality chocolate bar measuring 6" by 2" by 1/4" that sells for $1.00 and weighs 2.5 ounces. The federal bailout plan could buy 700 billion of these chocolate bars, which would cover approximately 50 square miles in chocolate one foot deep. It would weigh about 43,750,000 tons. This much chocolate does not currently exist.

• Gumballs. Again, $700 billion would buy far more 25¢ gumballs than currently exist - 2.8 trillion.

• Dollar bills. $700 billion would generate 7 billion $100 bills or (obviously) 700 billion $1 bills. This would be enough to paper 27.65 square miles in 100 dollar bills or 27,654.82 square miles in $1 bills. The $100 bills would weigh 7,709 tons and the $1 bills would weigh 770,925 tons. However the point is moot because neither 700 billion $1 bills nor 7 billion $100 bills exist today.

• Countries. $700 billion dollars is greater than the read on)
