Perspective on $87 Billion

A friend sent me this great link that allows you to visualize 87 billion dollars.

"A stack of singles would be 28,998,000 feet, or over 5,492 miles, or a round-trip between Washington DC and Los Angeles, California."

Call me crazy, but I think a government that spends $2.5 trillion per year is a little too big. Of course Democrats and Republicans tend to make it bigger every year, but you know, whatever.
