A trillion here, a trillion there, and pretty soon you’re talking about real money.

The original quote is from Senator Everett Dirksen, back in the 60’s, but he used “billions” instead of “trillions”.

I “propose” that this eco-nut nitwit (who understands neither science nor economics) take a long walk off a short pier. Do the country (and yourself) a favor.

Hadn't you heard?

"Trillion's the new billion."
revelers

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

It's one million 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."
