That could buy a few trains….
A trillion amounts to 3,333 for every man, woman and child in USA, legal or otherwise. Do you feel stimulated for your $3,333.
A few years ago there was quite an uproar over a trillion dollar budget.
Now we have a proposed budget with an deficit of 1 1/2 trillion per year?

For me it would be a lot more real estate, yes, more locos and stock but another benefit would be that I could arrange for someone to build the railroad for me. I could just supervise and make sure it was being done correctly and to my requirements.
And even more I could get an American G scale manufacturer to make some of those ‘special runs’ that many clamor for. As I would be fronting the plan the first special would be a MILW ‘Little Joe’ with working catenary. Ah! Pipe dreams are great. lol
Like they say in Congress, “A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you’re talking real money.”
