Yeah well, no one cares what it looks like or even what it amounts too. The average American is too stupid to comprehend what a billion is let alone a trillion. I'm guess most have a hard time managing their bank accounts.

So I take it you have done a scientific study concerning what exactly the average american comprehends?

To talk in such generalities as you do is sad and pathetic and just idiotic.

Peace!!

I want to see this in $1 bills. Further, lenders should only be allowed to give loan amounts for what borrowers can carry away on their person in $1 bills. I think I might have just solved the obesity problem in the country too, come to think of it..
