It wasn't long ago that billions replaced millions as numbers that can be tossed around without people batting a eye.
It seems like it won't be long until trillions replace billions with that auspicious honor.
President Obama has already said that the deficit will hit $1 trillion dollars soon.
So how are we supposed to get our heads around a trillion dollars...
One million seconds is about 11½ days.
A billion seconds is 32 years.
A trillion seconds is 32,000 years.
A stack of one trillion $1 bills would reach more than a quarter of the way to the moon
If you want some good news try this one...
A $700 billion bailout translates into $45 per week for each American man, woman and child. Going one step further, it comes out to a little more than $6 a day. Are you willing to pay $6 a day to have a functioning financial system, OK attempt to have a functioning financial system.
And finally...
If you spent 1 million dollars ever day since year zero you would be short of a trillion dollars.

And if you lined a trillion republicans end to end you still wouldn't find a bipartisan vote! They just don't play well with others. (if only we could get them to run with scissors!)
