What’s a trillion dollars among friends? I mean, come on, it is being treated like we don’t have it, oh wait, WE DO NOT.
What does a trillion dollars look like? Here you go. Starting with the familiar $100. (100 x $1.00) Easy enough.
Next in line is a mere $10,000.00 (ten-thousand) (100 x $100.00)
Here is a pile equaling $1,000,000.00 (million). (100 x $10,000.00)
Here is a pallet of $100,000,000 (one-hundred million). (100 x $1,000,000.00)
This is 10 pallets of $100,000,000.00 which equals $1,000,000,000.00 (billion). (10 x $100,000,000)
Finally, 1000 pallets of $1,000,000,000 = $1,000,000,000,000. (trillion). (1000 x $1,000,000,000,000)
In the last money shot, there is a guy standing next to the pallets in the far lower left corner. This is our money that is being wasted by our cowardly politicians in the name of stimulas. If you look closely at the stimulas package details, you can actually see that there is no stimulas, it is all socialization.
These pictures were sent to me in an fwd email. I usually delete fwd’s, but I happend to open this one and find these.
That’s an amazing visualization. But what does the physical size of $1 trillion have to do with anything? Ends up being ~$3,267 per American.
Although I should note, I agree substantively with your concern about the bailout/stimulus etc. We are privatizing profit and socializing loss.
Now that is interesting. Added your site to my RSS reader. Yes, very true.
