So just how big is the “stimulus” package?

Here is an interesting analogy I heard at church yesterday. I went back and did the numbers because I couldn’t believe it was accurate, but it was.

If you spent a million dollars a day, that is $1,000,000 every day, from the Resurrection to today (approximately 1,976 years assuming a Resurrection date of around 33 A.D.), you would have spent $721,734,000,000. That is 65 billion less, $65,000,000,000 LESS, than the government is going to spend in one bill to “stimulate” the economy.

That would have bought a lot of sandals back in the day.
