I'm not gonna waste my time explaining my position on this issue. Instead, I'll give you a couple of interesting facts about the difference between one million and one trillion.
A million seconds is 13 days.
A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.
If you piled up one million dollars worth of crisp, new $1000 bills, the pile would be 4 in. high.
One trillion dollars worth of $1000 bills (stacked flat) would be about about 63 MILES high.
When you think about how much a trillion dollars really is, you get a sense of how easy it would be for politicians to redirect on a couple million dollars here or there. I mean, when you have have a 63 mile high pile of money, who's gonna miss 4 inches?
