$20,000 profit per minute is only 65 times smaller than the amount that the national debt is rising. Currently, the United States borrows $1.3 million per minute to finace the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. Proponents of the tax cuts say that its helping the economy grow, which is debateable even among world-class economists, but the fact that we have to borrow because tax revenues are no longer coming in from the wealthy is not a debate. ...sorry to get all political on you. :-)
since you seem to like sort of interesting statistical data. Check this out. The national debt is $7.7 TRILLION. How much money is that? That is so much money that 7.7 trillion $1 bills stacked on top of one another would reach from the earth to the Moon and back , plus an additional 70 ft. how do I know? google. :-) 1. I googled the thickness of a dollar bill and found it to be 0.1 mm. 2. Found out how many miles is 770 billion MM using google's conversion feature: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q;=770000000... 3. googled distance from Earth to Moon and did the math.
