Give it a few years and we'll be buying coffee with $800B dollar bills. We will attempt to crack jokes how back just a few years ago they tried to stimulate the economy with a cup of coffee.

A million might be too big. Dumb it down. The Government spends $100,000 a second.



Six Million Dollars a minute.



During a typical commercial break during their favorite TV show, the Government likely spends $1 Million dollars for every student in the class.
