Our representatives in Congress have voted to pass the latest stimulus bill. The reported cost of that latest package of pork is $1.9 trillion dollars. So here is a little quiz: How many zeros are there in one trillion? The answer is 12. Now for the big one: If one dollar was spent every second, how long would it take to spend $1,900,000,000,000? The answer is 61,249 years. Obviously they are going to have to speed up the spending.
