Or To Put It Another Way...

If there were a country called Stimutopia and its Gross Domestic Product equaled the total Stimulus Bill, it would have the 12th largest GDP in the world. That’s bigger than India or China. The interest alone would be the 27th-largest economy in the world. If we put Stimutopia in South America, the interest payments alone would be the second-largest economy on the continent. The entire bill would be a mere $141 billion smaller from taking the top spot from Brazil.

...

If you started right now and spent
a million dollars every day until you had spent the principle amount of the Stimulus Bill ($825 billion) today, you would spend your last penny on June 19, 4395. Well, you wouldn’t. Your descendants 82 generations from now would finish the job you started.
