    $22 billion treasure??

    How crazy is that. I can't even comprehend that number. They are also saying that might be way too low of a number. I'm not a big antique person but I just find that pretty amazing.

    They'll spend $100 billion in war to see who gets to own it all.

    You could buy a house in Vancouver. Or a condo in Manhattan.
    I enjoy listening to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven.

    In a 31-day month, the United States borrows about $4 billion per day.

    The US national debt has climbed to $14.3 trillion. In $1,000 bills, it would now
    be more than 900 miles tall.

    1 trillion seconds is 33,900 years.

    22 billion
    Optimism, it makes nosense to hope for it simply to satisfy someone else's misguided concept.
