But think about this: according to Bloomberg, the US government has now pledged more than $7.4 trillion to rescue the financial system in the past 15 months.
How much is 7.4 trillion?
1) It is "half the value of everything produced in the nation last year," according to Bloomberg.
2) It's enough to cut a check for almost $25,000 to every single citizen of the USA!
3) If you had 7.4 trillion pennies, you would have $74,000,000,000.
4) That's enough money to buy the New York Times Co. 86 times over.
5) If we say that 100 pennies stack up 4 inches high, 7.4 trillion pennies would stack up 4,671,717 miles high.
6) That's enough to go to the moon and back ten times.
