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.

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
