"HOW MUCH IS A TRILLION?" ....US Debt tops $10 TRILLION for the first time in history! 9/2/11

[Jamesthegod6]

one thousand million you fuck

[CMKenneth]

it actually depends on the country, america still uses the old measurements formats so i assume its one mill mill. not really "that" much... the problem is when countrys using modern measurements say "trillon", like euro countryes or latin american, where one trillon is one mill mill milli...

the difference between billion and trillion is 6 zeros, and the difference between "long" and "short" scales is also 6 zeros. so a "long" billon is a "short" trillon... a completely ludicrous number.

1 trylion is milion milion :D 1000 000 000 000 :)

[Schlockumentaries]

now I'm TOTALLY depressed!

[waltereg0]

Lady, there is no such phrase as "Ten Hundred". That amount is called a Thousand.

[Ramsez]

what in gods name is ten hundred??

97,000 tons

3,421,574,309 ounces

$3,250,495,593,550.00 Dollars

3.25 trillion

[Schlockumentaries]

WOW!

[mindprism]

Imagine each state in the US had 5 big cities, and in each city there were 10 blocks, on each block there were 10 buildings, each building had 10 floors, with 10 offices, with 10 file cabinets, with 3 drawers, with 10 folders, with 10 envelopes, containing 10 twenties... ...we would need 6 more countries just like that to pay our debt. (10 trillion)

[Schlockumentaries]

LOL, and if you live in New York City and you think you're one in a million....there are 8 more like in the city! Thanks for your cool? Math

[Jamesthegod6]

@mindprism thats actually $3250.495 trillion

[LindaLee84701]

It is not something any of us will ever see, but how about someone stacking a trillion in dollar bills so we can see with our own eyes how much it is. I think we would all be amazed.

Great job Sandi

[Editjeff]

I have a headache from all the math you did to figure out how much people got screwed out of. You know how much a Trillion dollars is when Bernie Madoff has it? NOTHING> See how much easier the math is? Mind boggling numbers......

[pkrchp]

Sandi, Poor Kevin Bacon.

I million degrees of separation.

Bernard Madoff did not invent the Ponzi Scheme. Do some research. Social Security did

it almost 70 years ago.

Nice Sandi!

All I know it that it takes ten thousand pennies to make a fortune with BizAdSplash! ;)

[jimillman]

look at all the pretty colors

[TQPhool]

I only need ten hundred hundred

[zman2231]

Thanks for crunching the math. I had never really tried to wrap my brain around how large the numbers are.

[dianabeaumont]

How warped does Bernie have to be to make off with a wad of money we can't even wrap our brains around? Double Oy!

[rubydartz]

That's a lot of math.

[TQPhool]

Great..where's my share?!!!

[bsaranya]

LOL. now I am curious what comes after the trillion??

[2fools2]

fantastic scary! too much money for 1 person, that's for sure.

[sober27967]

Sandy does it again..Smart , funny, and alsways fun

[Toga2c]

Bernie scammed $50 billion. The federal bailout fund, most of it earmarked for Wall Street, is $700 billion. That's just $300 billion short of a trillion. Brother, can you spare a dime?

[wattsky]

Great--cant wait for the sequel! ("How much is a gazillion in Gaza?")

[CultStarr]

Heh! Do You think it maybe predestined?! Check out my page!

[epagenyc]

love this - captures exactly how my brain works when i try to wrap it around these figures. and love the blues in the background and the general good humor of all us little people...

[ResolUloseR]

Damn...that's amazing. Would love to see these numbers put into "laymans terms"...like how many scooter pies that would be.

[vlidvlad]

Bog mindling!

[paulenagle]

Mind boggling!
