What does "Trill" look like?

What does one TRILLION dollars look like?

Confirmation of the fact that a picture is worth a thousand (trillion?) words!
All this talk about "stimulus packages" and "bailouts"...

A billion dollars...

A hundred billion dollars...

Eight hundred billion dollars...

One TRILLION dollars...

What does that look like? I mean, these various numbers are tossed around like so many doggie treats, so I thought I'd take Google Sketchup out for a test drive and try to get a sense of what exactly a trillion dollars looks like.

We'll start with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. Most everyone has seen them, slightly fewer have owned them. Guaranteed to make friends wherever they go.



A packet of one hundred $100 bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains $10,000. Fits in your pocket easily and is more than enough for week or two of shamefully decadent fun.



Believe it or not, this next little pile is $1 million dollars (100 packets of $10,000). You could stuff that into a grocery bag and walk around with it.



While a measly $1 million looked a little unimpressive, $100 million is a little more respectable. It fits neatly on a standard pallet...



And $1 BILLION dollars... now we're really getting somewhere...



Next we'll look at ONE TRILLION dollars. This is that number we've been hearing so much about. What is a trillion dollars? Well, it's a million million. It's a thousand billion. It's a one followed by 12 zeros.

You ready for this?

It's pretty surprising.

Go ahead...

Scroll down...

Ladies and gentlemen... I give you $1 trillion dollars... look for the boy in the red shirt!


(And notice those pallets are double stacked.)


So the next time you hear someone toss around the phrase "trillion dollars"... that's what they're talking about..... A warehouse FULL of money equals 1 Trillion. So what's the national debt at again?

As of 1-28-11 4:19pm Central Time it's at $55,639,593,600,000 and climbing. See here for the current total http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html

That's over $178,000 per person in the US, including babies not even a month old yet. Ask your nearest child how it feels to be born into slavery in return for cheap Walmart goods? Is saving a dollar on a box of cereal really worth it?? C'mon folks get it together!
