Here ya go, Buddy. Don't lose any sleep.

Thickness of a 1000 dollar bill = 0.0050 Inch
Number of stacked 1000 dollar bills in an inch = 200.00
Number of inches in a mile = 63,360.00
Number of stacked 1000 dollar bills in a mile = 12,672,000.00
Value of a mile-high stack of 1000 bills = 12,672,000,000.00
National debt= 8.18 trillion dollars
Height of National Debt in stacked 1000 dollar bills = 645.52 miles

PS, I estimated the thickness of a 100 dollar bill at 5 mils. If it's only one mil, the stack is only 129 miles high.

Does anybody know?

John Kerry voted for the default! Why? Because he wanted to make sure seniors didn't get any more Social Security Checks! Run again in 2008 Kerry, I dare you. In fact, you're done in the next Senate election.
