That’s what’s so frightening. Trillion’s the new billion.

People don’t stop to realize what a Brogdingnagian number a trillion is.

It’s one thousand millions. Yet we’re tossing the figure around like New Year’s revelers of 1929. It’s unnerving.

“Trillion’s the new thousand” says “buy gold.”

Thought it was 1000 billion. No? Either way..if we spend 1 trillion less per year fed wise...they could reimburse all 125 million fed taxpayers. 8000 bucks each.....

Trillion = million x million
Billion = thousand x million
Million = thousand x thousand
