It's easily enough to fund the US Federal government for about 3 weeks. A bit over 10 days if state and local are factored in.

Imagine! If the US Federal government were able to find a way to take half of that money, they'd be able to struggle along for almost two more whole weeks!

Imagine if Apple management were a bunch of tax (aka revenue) cutters that also spent all the tax revenue handing it out to their cronies via earmarks and carve-outs in the annual budget?

It's easy to blame the Federal government when it's leadership is hell-bent on breaking it by unfunded mandates, croynism and expensive wars while also cutting the tax revenues.
