To pay off a trillion dollars at $1.00 a second would take 31,564 years. At a billion dollars a second only 995.70 years.(220 days). Not including interest.
A trillion dollars is 1,000 times a billion.

To pay off a trillion dollars at the rate of a billion dollars a second would take 1,000 seconds.

That's 16.67 minutes. Not 995.70 years.

To pay off a trillion at at billion dollars a second will not as you claim take a mere 16.67 minutes what ever the hell that is . A billion seconds equals 31 years. My decimal point was in the wrong place and the figure was wrong it isn’t 9.955 years it’s 10.years 4 months .Thank you for calling that to my attention
