With the national debt upwards of $8 trillion and most news quoting figures in the millions to trillions on a daily basis, that amount of money has lost all meaning. "Health care costs trillions every year". "The war in Iraq costs millions/day". "Social security is going to cost billions to fix". Who's counting? Who's actually paying? Schools don't have money for teachers. Cities don't have money for police officers. Students can't afford college. Doctors can't afford insurance. Where did all the money go? Who has all the money? Who spends all the money?
I make around 80K/yr. That's more than enough to live comfortably, even where I'm at in CA. I can't imagine what I'd do with $250K let alone millions or even billions.
The figures on the news are quoted to get a reaction but it doesn't even get a reaction anymore- it's just too much money. "Everyone" is apparently spending it but "nobody" has it.
