Can you get your head around A Trillion Dollars?
It is so far out of everyday living, most people have no concept how much it is.
I think it's important to get a grasp of it given that we are about to spend that much on the wars in Iraq, Afganistan (and Iran), and our national debt ceiling is now 9 trillion.
Look at it this way.
1 million seconds equals 11.6 days
1 billion seconds equals 31.7 years
1 trillion seconds equals 317 centuries
