 The computers are going to run out of floating point integers. 
 Those are rookie numbers! 😂 
 I stand by my estimates 😂. That’s roughly 1 trillion per quarter. I don’t think in the short term we will see an explosive printing season. 

On a 3-5 year timeline I think we will see the debt grow by 10 trillion in a single year. Probably in the range from like 45-55 trillion. 
 I made the same rough calculation.. feel so proud myself 😌🤣
