Default What does one TRILLION dollars look like?

Nowadays, trillion is the new billion and I think that it is such a large unit of measure, most people cant wrap their heads around it. Its a million million dollars.

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words....

Enjoy!

they might as well pass a quadrillion dollar spending bill, 99% of taxpayers/voters wouldnt know the difference between that and a trillion. at least for me, once i start hearing numbers bigger than 100 million, its pretty much considered 'infinite'.

Did you notice that on the last pic, each stack is 2 pallets high?

Ive read a few different peopel describe what a trillion $ is, but the animations really bring home just how much money it is.

Did you notice the link at the bottom that shows you what the national debt looks like?

It puts it more into perspective when you say... "thousand billion dollars."

Or a million million dollars.
