Doing the math...

A few years ago, a guy made news when he counted to one million in front of a webcam. He took sleep breaks, so it took him 89 days.

Now then, one trillion equals one million million. If someone wanted to count to a trillion (counting one number per second and taking no breaks), it would take 32,000 years.

America has not even been around a trillion seconds. Western civilization has not been around a trillion seconds. All of recorded history is less than a trillion seconds.

It's estimated that our galaxy has about 100 billion stars. For the number 100 billion, we would need ten galaxies like the Milky Way to equal a trillion stars.

Now think about this: The federal budget is $3.5 trillion and the national debt is over $17 trillion.

Do these idiot politicians even know what a trillion is?

Mind boggling!
The problem stems from electing people that don't see it as the peoples money.
End the FED!

One of the funniest lines of recent years: "Don't tell the Kenyan what a quadrillion is."

"What, a new limit to strive for?"
