http://www.plime.com/world/l/57466/1/rss0_91.rss#q7« pocksucket : 1 Trillion, as a number, makes no sense to the mind - needs a little perspective.

1 Million seconds:
Just under 12 days

1 Billion seconds:
31 years (give or take)

1 Trillion seconds:
31,709 years

Maybe that's too much perspective.No, that's an excellent perspective. Scary.


A good read is Issac Asimov's "only A Trillion."]]>http://www.plime.com/world/l/57466/1/rss0_91.rss#q6

One thousand billion! That's 12 zeros!

And this is only one issue. The US is 9.1 trillion in debt.

I guess tax cuts for the wealthy don't spur the economy very long.]]>http://www.plime.com/world/l/57466/1/rss0_91.rss#q4http://www.plime.com/world/l/57466/1/rss0_91.rss#q3http://www.plime.com/world/l/57466/1/rss0_91.rss#q2
