i wrote what a real modern day depression would look like here...

http://godandall.blogspot.com/2008/03/gas-to-10-ga

i think it would make the 1920's depression look like a walk in the park.

The reason being is the suburbs are so big that you cant put a GOV soup line every 6 blocks, we are TOO big now as a nation.

If trucks stop geting food to groceries, or the grocery stores go out of business, or, food is too high to buy, or... or...

There is a TIPPING POINT in our economy where EVERYTHING UNRAVELLS.

If we stay BELOW that point, we are OK,ther ewill just be high unemployment, prices, etc...

BUT< IF we go PAST that point, EVERYTHING breaks down.

No police, fire, gas, water, eectricity etc... (the GOV cant pay workers if the GOV is broke)

cheers

Damn, where the hell do we keep this money at?

We have other bills beside $1's. Divide that pile by 100.

>>Divide that pile by 100<<

Try thousands, or millions.

Or, even think of it as ELECTRONIC or GOLD.

Not all of the country's money is paper....

Interesting concept.

Thats just HALF of what the bailout actually was too.

And to BRAD. I think soup and bread lines is a ways away if at all. I also think you're drastically overestimating the effect a "recession" can have on our economy.

I wrote a little blog about my thoughts on the matter and its bad, just not as bad as you're saying it will be:

so i followed the pictures up to 191 billion but the jump from 191 to 315 seems a little outlandish... your telling me another 124 billion will raise the pile 4 fold. Is that money printed on stone tablets?

jason 3 years ago

Logic Hole, the difference is in how the money is arranged. In the 191 billion picture, the stack is (roughly) 4x5x9 (where 1 block is 900 million) but the 315 billion dollars are a tower with a 4x4 base. This creates the perceived drastic difference.

That kind of complicates my idea of creating a stash.

David LaFerney 3 years ago

Consider that the wealthiest people in the world have upwards of 30 Billion dollars. Or at least they did until this month.

I wonder at what point they would say "You know what? I have enough money now."

Dan 3 years ago

Ok, Maybe the money is ELECTRONIC or GOLD, but what if it wasn't? Suppose to the contaary it was one dollar bills...

Why would you ever want that amount of money in the lowest denomination? Surely 100 dollar bills would make the far easier.

clemm 3 years ago

So if we give 315 Billion dollers to the rich bastard bankers to party on, with no restraints. then we will be able to buy a gallon of gas for 900 million. What a deal. Im going to stock up on bullets, and home grown food. I suggest the rest of you learn to speak Chinaes.

smurf 3 years ago

I did the calculation just for the heck of it.... If we assume 10 pennies is an inch and you stacked 300 billion dollars up in pennies in one single colum it would reach half way to the sun... That is approximately 47 million miles!!!!

smurf 3 years ago

Oops!! me again... sorry it is only 470 thousand miles of pennies. Ihought it would be more than that. Still quite a distance... That is 18 times around the world at the equator!!!

alnoga 3 years ago

I have a $315B dollar bill that fits in my wallet. Why would you want to stack up your 315B $1 bills like that? It's dangerous. I hope most people would have better sense than this.

hal 3 years ago

seriously, recessions are natural and required in the american economy, if there is no real downturn then the a collapse is inevitable. but a recession is considerably different than a depression. do you really expect a 25% unemployment rate?

That's just awesome! wonder how big it would be in European Billion's ;D fucking huge compared to this I guess :D

Only 3% of america's money is cotton (Not made from paper guys ;-) )

The rest is made literally from nowhere..

All of our money is made in debt from bonds traded to the world bank (here in america) but on top of that 100x what we borrow in bonds is made from thin air.

maybe before the financial crisis the amout of $ 315 billion wasn't imagineable by any human brain.Time changes and now it looks like that the smallest unit is $ 1 billion, given by the government around the world to help companies in trouble. Companies hold by sharholder, taken in her pockets billions of bucks profit the last years.

Anyone who says that the tipping point cannot come is walking in the clouds. When a million dollars is a low sum today that points to a serious problem. I think everyone should read accounts of what happened in south america in 2001. Written by a survivor with the handle-Ba Ferfal. Sitting down to eat dinner and the country imploded finacially. Crime, blackmarket, rioting sprang up as the order in the streets decended. Cities become very very dangerous places when there is no more money to run the cities. Im lucky i live way outside any major city, got me a wood stove, 80 guns, 170k rounds of ammo and 100 days of food and fuel. I think anyone who thinks that it ain't going to fall better get a clue. After reading about what happened in 2001, i just gotta smile when people say it ain't going to happen here-thats what people in southamerica said in 2000..........

Huge pile of paper ... the only problem is that at the current rate of spending, the US of A needs this amount every 2 months as new credit to cover their excessive spending.
