How much is a trillion?

[Votto]

Americans have no idea how much a trillion actually is, but it's important to know when their elected officials spend trillions of dollars of their money.

Americans may not understand money, because it is not taught in government run public schools who now focus more on gender and racial issues, but they do understand time

One million seconds equals 12 days

One billion seconds equals 31.7 years

One trillion seconds equals 31,709 years!!

So the next time you hear them say, oh, it's just ONE trillion dollars we want to spend, you will have a much better appreciation for what is being asked to spend.

Unfortunately, the US federal government has spent far more than just one trillion with the better broke America programs of Diaper Joe, they have only just begun!

Inflation, inflation, inflation, the cruelest of taxes as it destroys both the Middle class and oppresses the poor.

Trillion is 1000 billions, or a million millions. What school doesn't teach that?

Google says that if you made stacks out of $100 bills, a trillion dollars' worth of $100 bills would cover a football field up to six feet high.

Math is racist, so if they teach that, then they are racist

But then America is systemically racist, so I reckon maybe they do?

Anyway, numbers don't really mean much until you assign it value, so putting it is context with time assigns it value we can understand better.

Time is money after all.
