This is the most eye-opening, real-world, sobering numbers/time summation I've ever seen.

The multi-trillion dollar hyper-inflationary policies involved in bailing out the entire world, in exchange for US dominance on the international stage will come home to roost.

It seems like the inflationary policy effects on commodities has been "managed" in such a way as to make truth appear the fool.

Just like it has been for decades, but this is different. We're talking TRILLIONS not billions like last time.

The obummer administration bailed out all the major banking systems of Europe when he bailed out the US banks in 2008+9.

That was peanuts compared to this.

I saw an interesting analogy relating numbers to time.

How long ago was one thousand seconds ago ?
Answer: One thousand seconds was 16 minutes, forty seconds ago.

Question: How long ago was one million seconds?
Answer: One million seconds would take up 11 days, 13 hours 46 minutes and 40 seconds.

Question: How long ago was one billion seconds?
Answer: One billion seconds is a bit over 31 and one-half years.

Question: How long ago was one trillion seconds?
Answer: One trillion seconds is slightly over 31,688 years. That would have been around 29,679 B.C., which is
roughly 24,000 years before the earliest civilizations began to take shape.

Some fools in congress have put the US taxpayers on the hook for what is it up to now, 4 TRILLION dollars - most of which is going over seas ?

WTF.

God help us.

God help our great great great great great great great grandchildren too.

A trillion seconds is 28,000 years.

Cork, 1 trillion dollar bills stacked flat would be a stack 67,866 miles high! and all these clowns have to do is type a few digits into a computer.
