A trillion.. mind-blowing isn't it?

Lets look at that number that has 12 zeros...

A Trillion is enough to give EVERY American approx $3,268.00 (based on current consensus).

A Trillion is enough to buy 45 MILLION brand new 2010 Mustangs.

If you were to count to a BILLION with one dollar bills.. it would take 95 years.

If you were to count to a TRILLION with one dollar bills.. it would take 95,000 years (remember a trillion is 1000 Billion). So it would take almost 100 generations of people that live to the age of 100, counting those bills.

Now we just spent 4 Trillion.... so multiply everything above by 4.

Insane.

Somebody said it would take 36,000 years of spending 1 million a day to reach 1 trillion. I dont know if this is true or not. I cant count that high.

Overload, Overload, my brain just melted. Can not comprehend

When you Google Google it only comes up with 2.7 Billion.
