The $1.25trillion stimulus

I listen to NPR (eh, its something somewhat related to whats happening) and one of their programs, Planet Money, is doing an expo on the stimulus, as the exact amount spent was released is accurate to 61cents.

This means the $1.25trillion is $1,249,999,999,999.39- anyone else amazed that when told to spend $1.25trillion, they were so close.

In addition, when they talked to the buyers- they said they had no idea how they created this money.
