A billion dollar bills laid end to end would stretch 96,900 miles, winding around the Earth nearly four times. A trillion dollars laid in the same manner would stretch for 96,906,656 miles, a distance farther than the sun. If you laid one billion dollars side by side like tile, they would cover about four square miles. A trillion dollars laid out the same way would cover approximately 3,992 miles, or 1,000 square miles larger than the states of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. Finally, how long would it take to spend each amount? If you spent $40 per second, around the clock, it would take you 289 days to exhaust a billion dollars. If you did the same thing with a trillion dollars, it would take you 792.5 years to go broke.

And US is 30 trillion in debt.
Very interesting visualizations for one billion and one trillion.
Politicians are mostly words people, not math people. Do they think that going from 30 BILLION to 40 BILLION is just “rounding up” like donating the last penny from a dollar for a 99 cent purchase? They definitely think that most Americans can be fooled. The swamp is sickening.
