Hmmmm. Good question.

THE  ROAD  TO  HELL ...
By 1997, after the first 30 years of the "War on Poverty," $5.4Trillion in tax dollars had been spent on poverty programs, and the national debt had risen to (guess what? yep...) $5.4 Trillion.  And the poverty rate? Uh-huh, EXACTLY THE SAME as it was 30 years before.
A million seconds is less than 12 days; a billion seconds is over 31 years; a trillion seconds is more than 31,000 years, and 5.4 trillion seconds is over 167,000 years.
