HOW MUCH IS ONE TRILLION DOLLARS?
Our nation is trillions of dollars in debt... So, how much is one trillion dollars? The figure one trillion can best be understood not in terms of money, but in terms of time. Not in terms of dollars, but in terms of seconds.
Lets take a trip back in time.
One million seconds takes us back in time almost twelve days
One billion seconds takes us back in time almost 32 years.
One trillion seconds takes us back in time almost 32,000 years.
One trillion seconds takes us back in time almost 30,000 years before Jesus walked our earth.
Conclusion: Our national debt is astronomical. Our national debt is obscene. Our national debt is scandalous.
