Trillion dollars for 45 cents a day
How much is a trillion dollars? With 148 million in the workforce, to generate a trillion dollars in tax revenue, it takes only 45 cents per day per employee over a 75 year period (200 work days per year).
Even a $10 trillion Social Security shortfall over 75 years is no more than a pack of cigarettes a day.
