The answer will totally blow your mind. I've done the math. First off for trivial reasons I will point out that $1,000 bills are not made anymore. That being said, a dollar bill is 0.0042999 inches in thickness. The national debt is 8.5 trillion dollars. When you stack these hypothetical $1,000 bills on top of each other to cover the national debt the height is 576.85 MILES!!!!!!!!!!!

A stack of $1000 bills adding up to $1 trillion would be 6,786.6 feet high, or a little over 1 1/4 miles.

Only about 1/50th as high as the stack of $1000 bills that would be required to buy all the assets in America.

Sorry you can't have a stack of $1000.00 bills, the largest note printed is $500.00. The stack would reach the moon and back. If every man woman and child would have paid $250.00 each 10 years ago it would have been paid. The entrust on the dept is growing faster than it can be paid.

It's about 2 inches per 100,000. I'll let you do the math.
