WASHINGTON — The White House and Senate leaders of both major political parties announced agreement early Wednesday on unprecedented emergency legislation to rush sweeping aid to businesses, workers and a health care system slammed by the coronavirus pandemic.
The urgently needed $2 trillion pandemic response measure is the largest economic rescue measure in history and is intended as a weeks-long or months-long patch for an economy spiraling into recession and a nation facing a potentially ghastly toll.
So, $2,000,000,000,000. That’s a boatload of money. In fact, it is thousands upon thousands of boatloads filled with money.
With the new bill, it’s said that each American family will receive $1200 per adult in the household and $500 for every child. And FYI, there are ton of Americans!
But just how much money is $2 trillion dollars exactly? Well, here are some fun facts to break it down for you.
If you made $1 every minute of your life, it would take 31,000 years for you to become a trillion-are! Damn!
So basically you could build Caesars Palace entirely out of cold hard cash or even buy all the land in Central America. And you still would have enough money to bail out all the banks in America like the government did back in 2008. There is no doubt this money will be returned to government in due time…because it’s not a handout. But it’s a serious flex by the government that’s for sure.
