No matter what the number that any hypothetical reparations may be, it will be limited by our government's ability to pay. I'm sure that it would disappoint many people and fall wildly short of what may be required - not unlike our recent covid stimulus.
That's just the reality of the logistics of reparations, or anything else that our government does. Even in the deficit spending model numbers are based on expectations of future ability to repay. That may be why real and tangible assets rather than liquid currency is the way to go. 40 acres wasn't worth much back in the day, as a reference.
