644 Nimitz Class Supercarriers at $4.5 billion each
1450 ESBWR nuclear power plants at $2 billion each, generating 1500 MWe each, totaling 2175 GW of generation (the total world energy use, not just electricity generation, is ~15000 GW)
145 Manhattan projects @ $20 billion each
21 Apollo Projects @ $135 billion each
A $500 personal computer for every single person on the planet
College tuition, at $10,000 per year, for every single American
Hooray for government bloat!
