Picture
this... United States' debt.

$100... One HUNDRED dollars
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 a week or two of shamefully decadent fun.

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

$1,000,000... One MILLION dollars
And
while a measly $1 million looks a little unimpressive, $100 million
dollars is a little more respectable. It all fits neatly on a standard
pallet.

$100,000,000... One HUNDRED MILLION dollars
And
$1 BILLION dollars? Now we're really getting somewhere.

$1,000,000,000... One BILLION dollars
A billion seconds* ago it was 1959.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
A billion days ago nobody walked on two feet on the planet Earth.
*One
number per second.
Next
we'll look at one TRILLION dollars. This is the number we've been
hearing so much about, lately. What is a trillion dollars? It's a
million million dollars. It's a thousand billion dollars. It's a one
followed by 12 zeros. Are you ready? It's pretty shocking. Go ahead.
Scroll down.
Ladies and gentlemen, here's $1 Trillion Dollars.

$1,000,000,000,000... One TRILLION dollars
![](Images/hs1trillion2.jpg)
$1,000,000,000,000... One (1) TRILLION dollars again, just for scale.

$15,000,000,000,000... Fifteen (15) TRILLION dollars, the U.S. debt in 2011.
![](Images/hs114-5trillion.jpg)
$114.5 TRILLION (Just for scale)
That's One Hundred Fourteen TRILLION, Five hundred BILLION dollars.
POINTS TO PONDER
One Trillion seconds
equals 31,000 years.
It would take a
person just under 32 years* without stopping just to count up to 1
Billion.
It would take a
person 31,688 years without stopping to count up to 1 Trillion.
As of June 2010,
the U.S. debt was 13 TRILLION dollars, which equals $42,000 for every
American man, woman and child.
