(42,239 posts)The original published figure was £13 trillion. Add at least 3 noughts for the old Italian Lira and it you switched to the old Hungarian Pengo there wouldn't be enough room on the page - when switched to the Forint a Forint represented 4×(10 to the 29th power) pengős . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_peng%C5%91

(4,835 posts)Just thought I'd remind everyone. Food, clothing, real estate (like the kind that the federal government owns in places like Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Flint) that just sit empty) intrinsic value.
Money only has value because we have accepted the hypnosis that it is worth anything at all. The solution to this problem lies in this fact.
I don't know what the solution is, but if we try a solution that involves having more money than the 'bad guys' we will lose. We need to put our shoulders to the wheel and figure it out. Not eating at certain places is a good start; what else should we 'not do' to hurt the mean people.
