Just HOW BIG is A Trillion Dollars?

Tweet

If you spent one dollar every second around the clock, it would take you about 11 and a half days to spend a million dollars. If you spent one dollar every second around the clock, it would take you about 32 years to spend a billion dollars. If you spent one dollar every second around the clock, it would take you 32,000 years to spend a trillion dollars. A trillion dollars stacked up in $100 dollar bills as high as a man could stack them by hand (a little taller than the man) would take up an entire football field. 0bama's projected budget for this year alone is 3.6 trillion dollars and a non-partisan group studying the economy feel that estimate is about 2.3 trillion dollars short of what it will actually cost. I'm no mathematician, but that seems like an awful lot of money that we don't have! Does anyone REALLY think that spending more money in the entire history of civilization is actually going to HELP our troubled economy? If you are in the bottom of a hole, do you really think that digging that hole 100 times deeper will help you get out of said hole? REALLY? Did you know that just the other day, the Federal reserve decided that it was goign to take a TRILLION DOLLARS (that we don't have) and use it to buy up bad debt from the US Treasury? Not to worry, they are going to cover it by printing more money - which has never in the entire of history of civilization EVER worked. Don't beleive me? Go Google the economy in Zimbabwe and see what happens when you print massive amounts of money with nothing to back it up. Your thoughts?
