colorful charts: Thune, accompanied by several colorful charts, thought he’d come up with a persuasive message attacking the economic agenda, according to MSNBC. Thune showed his colleagues a series of images intended to highlight the literal, physical size of $1 trillion if put in a pile of $100 bills. John Thune went to the Senate floor to condemn the proposed Recovery Act, which was still coming together. The Recovery Act was obviously the wrong solution, the Republican senator said at the time, because $1 trillion in stacked $100 bills would be 689 miles high. It was a striking reminder that when it came to substantive debates about policy, John Thune … well, let just say he probably shouldn’t be the Senate GOP go-to guy. This, in Thune mind, was a powerful economic argument.
