Wouldn't that depend on how wide the building is, and what it is made of?

does it have to function as a structure? because I imagine a huge amount of budget goes to plumbing, electricity, building floors, rooms, stairs, ameneties. If you just mean how big can something be built, we probably don't know
EDIT: on second thought, with a trillion dollar budget, you are likely to hit a physical limit before a financial one...

Yeah, a trillion is a shitload of money. It's pretty much the same as asking how high can we build a building at the moment.

Twin towers cost 400 mil in the 70s, sears tower was 150 mil, same time
80 billion is far too high
EDIT: CN Tower was built for the equivalent of 300mil 1998 dollars (not sure if thats cdn or american)

Yeah, I don't think any person has 80 billion dollar at the moment. At least not officially. And people build skyscrapers all the time (...more than die by shark attacks anyways).
I mean, a trillion, that's like the GDP of Russia

Good thing the US really doesn't have to pay it back. They can give China, Japan, Saudi Arabia and the like the finger for the conceivable future.

The Burj looks like it was based on '30 art-deco. Reminds me of a lazy rip-off of the ESB.

Though it's not like those countries would try and bankrupt the US, they've got deep investments that the US economy not crash.
US sneezes, the world gets a cold, just the way shit's all tied together.
