I was contemplating the weight of our national debt. Each of us are strapped for over $30,000.00 each in the payback of the debt. As of this writing the debt approaches $9,213,030,000,000.00, that's 9 trillion plus, http://zfacts.com/p/461.html How much would this enormous debt weigh? Math discloses the current weight to be approximately 202,686,616 pounds, 101,343.3 tons (utilizing $100 notes to form the package), a Nimitz class aircraft carrier weighs 97,000 tons. That would take 5067 tractor and trailer rigs loaded at 40,000 pounds each to haul the load, an extreme haul. Imagine a 65 mile long truck train if lined up bumper to bumper. The haul and the debt grows in weight rapidly. 1 cool million in $100 notes weighs approximately 22 pounds.
