If the governments keep complaining that they can't get funding, and that africans are starving and all they do with their fiat money is print money, why can't they print a 1 GOOGOL dollar bill and that piece of paper would fix everything!!!

I guess we need to back it by something, which has not been done since we went off the gold standard in '71

A googol is a 1 followed by 100 zeros. A googolplex is a one followed by a googol zeros.
