How Tremendous Is A Trillion?

Does anyone else think it is INSANE how much money our government is spending these days? I just watched a segment of The Glenn Beck Show in which he talks about how big a Trillion dollars really is. He asked his producers why nobody is really reporting on the fact that our government is printing money it doesn't have, and printing a LOT!!

One of Marshall's books is called, "How Much is a Million?". It explains how big a million, a billion, and a trillion are by using things kids will understand. The book says,
"How tremendous is a trillion? If a trillion kids stood on top of each other, they would reach way, way, way beyond the moon-beyond Mars and Jupiter, too, and almost as far as Saturn's rings.

If you wanted to count from one to one trillion, it would take you almost 200,000 years.

If you put a trillion goldfish in a goldfish bowl, the bowl would have to be as big as a city harbor.

If you put a trillion of our stars onto a gigantic roll of paper, it would stretch all the way from New York to New Zealand."

That's pretty big. Maybe you are a visual learner and need a picture example. Ok, I got that covered. Glenn Beck shows you how big a trillion is in this video segment-
