Estimated cost 3 Trillion dollars.
That is approximately $10,000 for EVERY PERSON in the United States.
That means $30,000 from my household alone. I was just thinking what I could use that money for, just to give it perspective.
- Over 5 years of Groceries.
- 14 years of electricity
- Over 6 years of tuition for my child.
- Eyeglasses and contacts for 120 years.
- 1000 co pays for doctor's visits
- Pay my vehicle off & purchase a new one for my wife. Hers has over 200k miles
- Replace our home computers every year for the next 10 years
- or at the current rate of every 4 years replacement the next 40 years.
- 600 New release video games.
- 83 years of Dungeons and Dragons online, World of Warcraft or other online game.
- 50 years of DSL.
- 14,563 Venti coffees from Starbucks or 7229 if I get a cookie with it.
- 714 5 gal homebrew beer kits
- 1500 new dvds or 4500 if I buy them pre-viewed from Blockbuster.
- 133 Good tickets to Nascar races including a bus ride there and back and spending money
- 100 nice vacation trips for my family.
Think about it people, that is a lot of money.
