How deep into the Earth would one have to dig to bury a single stack of 100 dollar bills whose total value was 17 trillion dollars?

Clue: the thickness of all denominations of paper/rag US money is identical.

[Yosemitest]

The Earth isn’t “THICK” enough.

[Yosemitest]

Here is what 15 Trillion dollars look like.
The blocks of money are stacks of $100 bills worth $10,000 each.
Welcome to the 2011 United States Federal Debt.
2012 is already slated at $16.4 Trillion.

[Graewoulf]

You are on the right track, but the human eye will rationalize that the stack that you show still is not as tall as the Statue of Liberty.

Sooooooooo - - - How deep into the Earth would one have to dig to bury a single stack of 100 dollar bills whose total value was 17 trillion dollars?

Clues:

1.) The thickness of all denominations of paper/rag US money is identical.
2.) The thickness of a 100 dollar bill is 0.0043 inches.
3.) Assume that there is no space between the 100 dollar bills.

[VRW Conspirator]

This is a likely scenario. Obviously, there is enough supposition to pick it apart. But the dominoes are all in place. I do not think that China, Russia, etc. will come out of this scenario only lightly scathed. I have converged on the idea that an economic collapse in the US will happen as a result of a worldly cascade of disasters.

[pierrem15]

This can't happen because the Fed will step in and buy bonds, in which case the Chinese will get a couple trillion seriously devalued dollars in return for their Treasuries, which would push the value of the Yuan up to the point that their exports die.

It would be as though they decided to shoot themselves in the head.

[Yosemitest]

17 trillion dollars in 100 dollar bills equals 115,372.47474747474 miles or 115,372 miles 2,506 feet 7 inches and .9999995264 inches.
But the earth is only at the equator is 7,926.28 miles miles in diameter and from pole to pole is only 7,899.80 miles.

So like I said before, the Earth is NOT "Thick" enough.
It would require you to dig through 14.555630131663277 earths.

[Yosemitest]

Hopefully, someone will beat them to it.

[Graewoulf]

Even Barry Soetoro is not that big a spender.

Try again.

[Yosemitest]

I’ve wasted enough time on this silliness.

[Yosemitest]

Here's the work. Where is it wrong?

100 dollar bill is 0.0043 inches

100,000 is 43 inches

1,000,000 is 430 inches

1,000,000,000 (1 Billion) is 430,000 inches

1,000,000,000,000 (1 Trillion) is 430,000,000 inches

17,000,000,000,000 17 Trillion is 7,310,000,000 inches

1 mile = 63,360 inches or 5280 feet

17 trillion dollars in 100 dollar bills equals 115,372.47474747474 miles

or 115,372 miles and 2,506.6666666272 feet

or 115,372 miles 2,506 feet 7 inches and .9999995264 inches

But the earth is only at the equator is 7,926.28 miles miles in diameter and from pole to pole is only 7,899.80 miles.

So like I said before, the Earth isn't "Thick" enough.
It would require you to dig through 14.555630131663277 earths.

Correct the mistake.

[Yosemitest]

100 dollar bill is 0.0043 inches

100,000 is 43 inches. HERE"S THE MISTAKE, because it should be 4.3 inches.

1,000,000 is 43 inches

1,000,000,000 (1 Billion) is 43,000 inches

1,000,000,000,000 (1 Trillion) is 43,000,000 inches

17,000,000,000,000 17 Trillion is 731,000,000 inches

1 mile = 63,360 inches or 5280 feet

17 trillion dollars in 100 dollar bills equals 11,537.247474747474 miles

or 11,537 miles and 15,679.99999995264 inches

or 11,537 miles 1,306 feet 6 and .99999999999996 inches

But the earth is only at the equator is 7,926.28 miles miles in diameter and from pole to pole is only 7,899.80 miles.

So like I said before, the Earth isn't "Thick" enough.
It would require you to dig through 1.4555630131663277 earths.

many others (including George Soros) have been planning it for many many years.
...........
George soros sold his position in gold in early 2013
http://money.cnn.com/2013/02/15/investing/soros-gold/

currently soros is bullish on the US economy because of oil. that means he’s also bullish on the dollar.

[Yosemitest]

He’s been saying he wanted to “Collapse the Dollar” for many years, regardless of his current position on gold.

[Yosemitest]

"Soros Bets on U.S. Financial Collapse"

... “What is most troubling to me about this,” Diamond added, “is that the Fed’s QE2 is in alignment with George Soros’s agenda to destroy global capitalism.”
The decline of the dollar “is what George Soros wants and what he has proposed in the past,” he noted.

Soros, the billionaire hedge fund operator who finances various leftist and Marxist groups, including Media Matters, has made his fortune by betting on the collapse of national economies and currencies.
He was convicted of insider trading in France.

Media Matters recently received $1 million from Soros so that it could try to mute the effectiveness of conservative media organizations and personalities, some of them critical of Soros.

In recent Fox News programs, Glenn Beck has been focusing on the decline of the dollar and how Soros has proclaimed that “an orderly decline of the dollar is actually desirable.”
Programs like these have made Beck into a top target of Media Matters.

AIM has been warning for years about the intentions of Soros, noting in a 2004 report that he “specializes in weakening or collapsing the currencies of entire nations for his own selfish interests.”

We noted, “Despite his vision of an ‘open society,’ he operates an unregulated ‘hedge fund,’ open only to the super-rich.”
His Soros Fund Management is a member of the “founder’s council” of the Managed Funds Association (MFA).

Diamond said that as Soros is betting on a U.S. financial collapse, his net worth and the amount of money under the management of his hedge fund have ballooned.
The money that Fed chairman Ben Bernanke is putting into the economy, Diamond said, is designed to “replace the stolen money from American families and the capitalist corporations” under the cover of the financial crisis.

The collapse of capitalism will be “a big pay day for George Soros and members of the Managed Funds Association,” he said.
“They are betting against the dollar and moving assets to gold and to the emerging economies.
They are betting against U.S. survival as a capitalist nation.”

Referring to the members of the MFA who are betting against the U.S., Diamond asked: “Have you heard them say they want to restore capitalism?
No.
But you will hear them talk about the ‘new normal’—meaning that we are not going back to capitalism.
And this is by design.”

Diamond’s criticism follows the shocking statements of Charles Ortel, managing director of Newport Value Partners,
who told AIM that the Federal Reserve plan to buy $600 billion of U.S. Government securities “borders on the criminal”
because the impact will be the devaluation of the dollar by 20 percent and the destruction of $10 trillion of household net worth.

Ortel told AIM that the Obama Administration’s “war on capitalism” has become a “war on wealth” under the direction of Fed chairman Ben S. Bernanke.

Republican Rep. Tom Price and Senator-elect Rand Paul have led the criticism of the Federal Reserve,
with Paul saying, “With so much blame going around for the current financial crisis
it is surprising that so few in the mainstream press have discussed the role of the Federal Reserve System.”

As if to prove the point, the Sunday TV interview shows featured lengthy discussions about proposed budget cuts and federal spending
but no detailed examination of the actions of the Federal Reserve.

Charles Ortel had told AIM that the result of the upheaval will be a new “global regulatory regime” to manage the U.S. and other economies.
In this regard, talk of global taxes by the United Nations has increased recently
and Obama himself endorsed the concept in a document adopted by the September 20-22 U.N. Summit on the Millennium Development Goals.

Senator David Vitter’s Senate resolution 461 would put the Senate on record against any global tax scheme.

Like Ortel, Diamond notes that previous attempts to “save” the economy through the actions of the Federal Reserve have demonstrably failed.
Rather than allow the Fed to pour more printed money into the economy, Diamond said that the new Congress should be “following the money paper trail and try to recover as much of the stolen money as possible.”
Instead of holding the looters accountable, he said that the Fed is allowing the looters to digest the stolen money and dig us deeper into the hole.”

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), he said, should reinstate regulations designed to protect invested capital from the hedge fund short-sellers.
“What is needed is the legal protection for the invested capital, protection for the value of our homes
and policies that encourage capitalism and risk taking,” he said.
The hedge fund short-sellers should be monitored and regulated like mutual funds, he said.

While Bernanke takes the brunt of Diamond’s critique,
Diamond doesn’t lose sight of the President who re-appointed Bernanke to that post.

“President Barack Obama is doing everything he is NOT supposed to do—and is FAILING TO DO the things he is SUPPOSED TO DO—to fix this economic crisis,” he said.

Consider the matter of “stimulus” spending, for example.
“Obama got $700 billion in stimulus money, supposedly for shovel ready jobs.
But he later admitted there were no shovel ready jobs.
So it is just more money down the drain, more debt and deficit, digging us deeper into the hole,” he said.

He concluded, “This is the person the pundits and talking heads on TV insisted is smart and intelligent.
Misguided Americans may have inadvertently elected a dummy or an enemy agent as their President.
Take your pick.”

The decline of the dollar “is what George Soros wants and what he has proposed in the past,” he noted.
.................
This was absolutely true in 2008. But crap you ever looked at a picture of the dollar from 2001 to 2008—you didn’t need a George Soros to see that the dollar was going down the toilet....

But the world has radically changed meat cleaver through your brains in the last 5 years.

Oil changes everything...including the value of a currency and the price of gold. Dollar goes up. Gold goes down.

You’re probably a young whipper snapper. You don’t remember the 1970’s. What’s happening now is the mirror image opposite— of what happened then.

Even Soros is not such a fool that he doesn’t change with the times. Right now Soros hates gold. Soros likes the US economy and by extension the US dollar.

[Yosemitest]

"You don’t remember the 1970’s. What’s happening now is the mirror image opposite— of what happened then."

I graduated high school in 74 and I've got over 26 years in the military.
I'm not sure I remember exactly what you're hinting at and who your talking about.
Mr Peanut was pretty bad, and I was working in the control tower when the 747s landed at Columbus AFB
and loaded up all the Iranian student pilots and hauled them back to Iran to be executed by their new government.
But I think today is much, much worse!

NEVER BEFORE IN OUR HISTORY have we had an ILLEGAL ALIEN elected pResident that is so "ANTI-United States" and is working with our ENEMIES to destroy us from within.
NEVER !

[Yosemitest]

In short, you’re full of it!

[ckilmer]

In short, you’re full of it!
............
Proof is in the pudding. Watch the value of the dollar go sideways to up this year. And the value of the gold to go sideways to down.

You don’t need me. Just use your eyes and your brains. Just don’t accuse your eyes of lying.
