To paraphrase the late, great Senator Everett Dirkson (R-Illinois):
"A trillion here, a trillion there, pretty soon you're talking real money."
(I substituted trillion for billion.)

If you had a trillion of those gold coins, how much would they weigh?

One million seconds ~12 days.
One billion seconds ~32 years.
One trillion seconds ~32,000 years. Give away a dollar per second, and it'll take you 32,000 years to get rid of one trillion dollars.
Or a stack of $1000 bills equalling a million dollars is approximately 4 inches thick. To get a trillion dollars that stack of $1000 bills would be 62 miles high.
The way Congress is passing, and the President is enacting these bills (stimulus, omnibus, and the current selling of the next budget), makes Madoff and his ponzi scheme look absolutely ethical.
Theft of our future.
Our kids and grandkids don't deserve what we today are allowing to happen to their future prospects, their future livelihood, or their freedom from subservience.
