One trillion is 1,000,000,000,000,000. 93 times, & that means taxes would cost every person in America $23,000. a yr. for every person alive today to pay for it until we all die!
Sounds like a lot! So, you got any suggestions to help? Like solar or wind power to supplement and, ultimately replace fossil fuels. Reducing waste, planting trees, recycling, etc. Or, do we waste time and energy sitting around and bitchin' about the cost, which may not be as bad as it sounds if we all pull together?
