#3 At the rate he's going ($250 billion each of the last two weeks) he'll be borrowing $9 trillion over the next 10 MONTHS!

#4 Expect a mathematical progression on it to continue till the Fed bond market goes zero and, as the Fed simply prints more money instead, watch inflation return to that which was ignited in the Carter years.

#9 I will have to admit, DMFD, that

$100,000,000,000,000 looks more impressive than

$1x10^14

Our national debt is heading toward Avogadro's Number. *sigh*

#11 And the symbol in the lower right-hand corner looks like somebody giving you the "finger" as if to say try to buy something with this bill.

#13 I'm surprised anyone is surprised. This is a step right out of the Communist play-book: cause hyper-inflation until all "old" wealth is destroyed, while taking control of every instrument of gaining new wealth. Once the "old" wealth is gone, the communists institute a "new" currency, which they control, preventing people from accumulating any significant wealth. They tried it in Germany during the Weimar Republic, but got Adolf Hitler, instead of a Communist. Following WWII, they used this strategy in the Eastern Bloc of nations, especially in Hungary, which had inflation to equal the German Weimar era.

BTW, that thing that "looks like somebody giving you the "finger"" is a stone statue of a fish eagle, the symbol of Zimbabwe.
