Could you spend $1,000,000 in one minute?

According to this article by a Canadian financial analyst, Bush spent $11.5 trillion ($11,500,000,000,000 ) during his 8 years as president.

So, exactly how much is that? Well, let's break it down a bit and figure out how much a trillion dollars is:

If you could spend $1,000,000 ($1 million) every minute of every hour of every day for a full year, you would have spent only $525,600,000,000 ($525.6 billion). That's just over 1/2 a trillion dollars. It would take you almost 2 years to spend $1 trillion.

In 2 years, you would have spent $1,051,200,000,000.

So, if you spent $1,000,000 each minute for 10 years (including 2 extra days for Leap Years), you still wouldn't have spent $11.5 trillion.

Scary numbers.
 
^ Wow! You're fast! I had my poor abacus working overtime for almost an hour figuring out that crap!!
 
I could easily spend it. There are so many non-profit groups that I would love to donate big sums of money to instead of the little sums that I currently give to many of them. It would primarily go towards environmental, social, health, education, equality/civil rights, and mass transportation organizations. The money would go to good use. ..|

He had the power to really make a positive difference in the World....and look what he chose to do. What a fuck-up. I have never used that term before but I really think that it is appropriate in his case.
 
i can shop...lemme tell ya, but i dont think i could do it.
 
Wow. You could have had a world class, nay, out of this world, education system, health system, schools, hospitals, etc, altogether if you weren't so scared that your tax dollars were gonna be given to helping the undeserving unwashed plebs of the great US of A.

Good thing you spent it abroad on the unwashed plebs there. The US government generosity going to those who deserves it the most, the non-Americans.
 
I don't see what the big deal is. I could very easily spend $1,000,000 a minute if I were president of a country with a $46,000/capita GDP.
 
Comparing finances for a country with the world's third largest population cannot be compared to comparing finances for an individual.

Adjusted for each individual (about 300 million in the US of A), Bush "spent" about 40K per individual citizen for the total eight years. I can certainly see myself spending 40K in an eight year span. 11.5 trillion only seems like a lot if you imagine the money all spent by one person for one person.
