Senate close to passing $1 trillion infrastructure bill!

 So reads the headline.  I mentioned it to my nursing home group with whom I meet every week.  They wanted to know what you could do with a trillion bucks so I decided to find out.  Herewith is my shopping list.

If you’re generous:

You can give one million people one million dollars.

Harvard U. At $78,000 per year for 4 years=$312,000; you can send 3 million, 205 thousand kids to Harvard for 4 years of college.

State of the Art High School @$20 million=50,000 or 1000 in each state.

To build Hoover Dam today=$750 million.  With 1 trillion you can build 1333.

By all accounts the GW Bridge is the busiest bridge in the country.  To build GW Bridge was  $60 million in 1930.  In today’s money that is $1 billion. So 1 Trillion will buy 1000 bridges.

The latest U.S. nuclear aircraft carrier=$13 billion. $1 trillion will buy 77.

 

A trillion seconds is equal to 32,000 years. So if you're asked if you'd like to live that long, say NO!

 

Boeing 777   $442 million=enough to buy 2200

Boeing 757-Like Trump’s- $100 million=you could buy 10,000

 

Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship  $1 billion=enough to buy 1000

Most expensive private yacht in history-Supreme-$4.5 billion=you could buy 222

 

Bugatti La Voiture Noire  (the most expensive car in the world) $20 million= You can buy 50,000

 

Antilia Estate (the most expensive house in the world)   $5 billion= you can buy 20

Antilia is a private residence in the billionaires row of Mumbai, India. It is the residence of the Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani & his family, who moved into it in 2012;^[2] at 27 stories, 173 metres (568 ft) tall, over 37,000 square metres (400,000 sq ft), and with amenities such as three helipads, air traffic control, a 168-car garage, a ballroom, 9 high speed elevators, a 50-seat theatre, terrace gardens, swimming pool, spa, health centre, a temple, and a snow room that spits out snowflakes from the walls, the skyscraper-mansion is one of world's largest and most elaborate private homes.

 

132 night luxury world cruise-$75,000 each for 20 people=$1.5 million.  For 1 Trillion we can take 666,666 trips or 88 million days  or  241 thousand years! In other words you won't live long enough to spend it all!

 

You can go to the dollar store and walk out with 1 trillion items!

 

I love log cabins so I looked up a 3 bedroom log cabin on a lake with 10 acres  of land=$1 million. I could buy 1 million of them for $1 trillion!

 

And there you have it.  What you can do with a trillion bucks.
