Crash-O-Rama: Just how much IS a TRILLION Dollars??

[kanakaken]

I had to view this site to see what your trillion is, the American one is SO small. For us a billion is a million million and a trillion is a million million million or in one long figure

1,000,000,000,000,000,000. If you want big numbers just think of this,, about every 2 seconds your national debt goes up by $45,000, & every day it increases by almost 3.9 billion dollars. There is interest on this debt, so it's a self feeding monster whose size accelerates faster as time goes by. Good luck !

[CsoTy]

Money is such a stupid thing once you think about it. I wish I was a zombie, then brains would rule the world and not cash.

 FIAT EMPIRE - Why the Federal Reserve Violates the U.S. Constitution

[jonathanmoreno1000]

why is all of this going on?its to bring in the order of the antichrist.just look at the world now!!

[adamsalas2009]

No such thing as democrate or republicans

[M0NAC084]

This is a rough video. Less talking next time. You could have said the same thing in 30 seconds.

[emdoub]

@blunderbus - it's not just the Democrats - the Republicans can't point any fingers, here. Bush Jr's years in office brought the national debt up 50% - from 6 trill to 9 trill. All Obama's done is speed up what was already happening, and that was gonna happen no matter who was in office - a big chunk of what's gonna kill us is the Boomers retiring - Social Security is gonna be enough to sink us, all by itself.

This "Ghost of Christmas Past" brought to you by John Maynard Keynes and FDR.

[wobinga7]

with a trillion you could buy exxonmobile, texaco, and chevron and still have enough change left over to buy walmart hope that is an easier perspective for most of you

[ashforkdan]

there is about 300 million people in the us if you where to divide one trillion between each person how much would they receive what we got from it was a couple of hundred bucks per family so where is the money thanks

[alieco]

OK, you idiots do you realize the us is 13 TRILLION dollars in debt? Ignorance is what made this economy collapse.

[mtszabo]

I just wrote a little program to confirm what you said about spending 1,000,000 per day, every day. It would take 2,740 years to exhaust your cash supply if you started with 1,000,000,000,000. And that's not counting interest. Of course, it's also not counting leap years... but still.

[flamevulture17]

You took this information from mjack3003's video you jerk!

and he did it before you

those are $100 BILLS, NOT $1000 BILLS, IN THE 1 miL. STACK...

A trillion dollars is about $3,000 per person or $13,000 per family of 4. Given the US has 300 million people.

[randy109]

I hate to be a panic monger, but I'd buy Gold and soon. Even a lower middle class worker can buy a Krugerrand every other month. When the dollar collapses enough to wipe out our national debt we will get a fresh start like we paid off WW2 debt. A dollar in 2010 is worth 8 cents in 1913 money. If you have a coffee can half full of Krugerrands, or Maple Leafs, or any other coined ounces of Gold you'll be richer than a guy with $5,000,000 in Savings bonds 10 years from now. Just watch...

[actonbath]

1 Trillion can pay 20,000,000 (20 million) people 50,000 for one year....5 million more than there are unemployed people in the U.S.

[minlenardhudson]

Very interesting numbers!

[JynxyTheLynxy]

it comes down to this, whats harder to find or make- a dollar cut from a tree or gold dug out from a mountain- I'm digging

[TR000PA]

Money only has value if people are willing to trade it for goods, as the value of the dollar goes down it hurts those with the least amount of money quickest.

By reducing the buying power of their own currency, one loses the ability to trade on par with other people at an interpersonal level and countries at a national level.

[ajg12phonz]

heres another interesting way to put it in perspective.. and yes ive checked the math.. 1 million dollars stacked up in $100 bills is 4 inches high..1 trillion is 64 MILES high..much too much to be spending especially putting us into a 14 trillion dollar debt *cough* *cough* (obama)

[garythemessage]

Didn't this just completely rip off the other guy's video? Like word for word? What's the point in that? How can somebody get such a high rating simply by totally ripping off someone else's work? Oh, yeah, this is youtube - and that's the name of the game!

[blunderbus21]

I recently heard an economist state that America's real debt is around 7-9 TRILLION. The US collapse will mean the end of our freedoms/Constitution and our borders. The NWO will then be in complete control. America will be merged with Mexico and Canada under the North American Union. Asia will also soon form a union. End of times are near..no doubt.

[ajg12phonz]

yup AND MOSTLY THT COMMUNIST obamas fault..btw its around 14 trillion now

[psychicesp007]

you idiot its not even 12 trillion yet

[starmaYker]

PS

Glenn Beck is a DOPE! He didn't say ONE WORD when President Bush was spending TRILLIONS in Iraq!

[djk84]

Trillions in Iraq? Where do you get your facts? Not even One Trillion was spent on military since 9/11/01.

[ih8makinusernames]

Dipshit we spend about 100 billion every year on iraq...get it right liberal fuck up. Atleast he didn't blow 1 trillion in one bill that didn;t to half the shit it was supposed too..

[ajg12phonz]

no ur a dope..when bush left office the debt was 3 trillion and now it 14 trillioin so no shit glenn beck is gonna flip shit on obama..hes spending money that he can never repay

[starmaYker]

The problems began when George Bush Jr SIPHONED TRILLIONS out of the US Economy to finance his War in Iraq!

At least, President Obama is KEEPING THE TRILLIONS within the US Economy!

[Unhallowed16]

your and idiot the iraq war dosent even come any where near a trillion

[blunderbus21]

Star: stop looking back at "the last guy" and start looking at the dope running the show now. Obama spent more in his first 100 days (soon to be alot more) than Bush did his entire 8 years! Get off your knees..the democRATS are elitest-socialist looking for more power and control. Learn more please before you rant.

[ajg12phonz]

finally someone understands..btw obama has spent more in his first 9-10 months than all the presidents in the history of our country COMBINED since 1776

[ih8makinusernames]

actually the war only hit a trillion dollars this year... The economy could handle the cost atleast partly...

but how does the government get money

taxing the economy.

So if i but i a trillion dollars into the economy where i get my money from and the economy's LOSING money? how does that work, seriously think about it. and the bailout didn't do anything it was supposed to. and that kind of spending super infates the relitive value of the dollar there fore making that trilion worth less.

[ajg12phonz]

how do u figure? bush's debt was 3 trilion wen he left offifce and now its 14 trillion thanx to obama...besides he borrowed a trillion from china so hes not really keeping it in our country

[mrmonovoa]

heres a good one how long would it take for the trillion dollar stack high to fall to the ground?

[mrussell43]

1 trillion seconds is 31,688 years

click it for funn y stuff

[rigoletto68]

good video...thanks!

[flipperd554]

wow hard to think of it in 1 dollar bills

[ameetcoeur]

Well one trillion is a lot of money for one person to spend. But divide that by 300 million persons and that's less impressive, but still a lot.

[surrealpast]

Everyone would get $3333. But I bet more then 30% are below the age of 18. Around $5000...The average income is 47k of which the majority goes to banks for morgatge and insurance or w/e...Through taxes the us government gets 7k.

[Cameltoeguy]

It's extremely easy to spend other peoples money (OURS)..... this administration is out to break us, trash the Constitution, attempt to take our guns, starve us, and then...... ?????

[Aurini]

You did a great job with the visuals on this one.

[wingchunclub]

Question? Is Trillion the amount of actual cash in circulation or is it the amount we plan to print, or does it exist virtually like credit? Thanks, S

[AwakenSafely]

all of the above and it's not just ONE trillion...it's MANY. most of it exists virtually, like credit...

[jacobmandley]

@wingchunclub The Banks hold around 6% of Real Money the rest is Virtual and thats in the U.K

[joshfif]

@wingchunclub 13 trillion plus

[imperialcrypt]

obama has a 3 trillion spending spree I hear. Some think this will cause hyperinflation. I do not think it will. The bailout money will be absorbed no doubt by the big multinational companies out there. These companies often hoard money, but it also might make a few new millionaires. Then in another 2 years you might seen another boom cycle. Then it will bust again of course, Then we will have another crisis.

A higher number is Centillion . It is 1 with 300 zeros following. Its about the highest recognized number. There are more. Google is 100 zeros. :)

[AwakenSafely]

well, let's get busy and create at least 1 or 2 Centillion dollars, then. hell.....we're AMERICANS we can do it! ;-)

[sonyerectson]

@AwakenSafely here's a better way to look at it. I bought an apple for $1 yesterday. Today it's worth $1,000,000,000,000. Did the value of the apple go up or the dollar go down.

More spending = more worthless dollars.

@affluence8 Google is not 100 zeros, It's actually called Gogol, and Gogol plex is eaven higher than a centillion, Gogol plex= gogol^gogol

[Jaycephus01]

Bridge to Nowhere: ~$300 Mn

Number of bridges we could build with $1 Trillion?

173...

per MONTH...

for TEN years!

America's bridge-deficit problem could be solved!!

If we had one.

[AwakenSafely]

LOL.... yeah, let's get right solving that m-fer!

Ezekiel 46:2: And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

Read the Bible. It is God's Word. There is salvation in only One: Christ (Acts 4:12). Wait on Him for salvation. He saves those whom He wishes to.

Money is bits of paper carried around by people with their figers crossed thats why gold is at an all time high. I live in Thailand it was my daughters birthday last week see my video of us buying gold, People selling their gold as jewellery here is 23 ct gold or 96.5% gold. My income is in GBP from the UK it has lost 30% of its value in a year same as the US and Australian $ There is nor enough money in the world to pay back all these debts caused by these no good bankers so gold will go up.

[llothar68]

Well the good thing is that one trillion is so much that no government will ever pay it back.

Think about it.

If countries ever pay back their debt, then what should people do with it. There is no usefull way to invest it.

The money system is totally stupid and need a 100% reform. Unfortunately this will not come without a reform a lot of pain for the simple people.

[HydroMystery]

It's about the time when our sun is due to burn up the last of its nuclear fuel .

[HydroMystery]

just 50 dollars a day ... it's enaugh to pay off US debt before Milky Way galaxy will colide with Andromeda . with no interest of course..

[HydroMystery]

US national debt .. it's just about 25 dollar a day from the beginning of the universe .. nothing to worry about..

[Paetaor]

Canada's GDP is about $1 T USD.

I was p'd off to hear our federal government ws going to run a deficit of about $17B USD per year for 3 years.

Running $1-2 Trillion per year is indefensible.

[eatsomedog]

If you spend $1 dollar every second it would take you 32 thousand years to spend $1 trillion.

[Sibelius92]

A good video, thanks!

As a newcomer can I make a really really pedantic point. The camera seems a bit high up. I feel like you're sitting down and I'm standing up, doesn't make for a comfortable conversation.

But, in the end, it's the content that matters.

[AwakenSafely]

thanks, a bit of pedantry is ok with me...I am happy to improve the style :-)

[jiminiflix]

us debt is 56 trillion nationally.The derivitive black hole is estimated at 1 quadrillion which is $1000000000000000.00 .1 with 15 zeros!! 1 million billion . This is whats pulling the world financial system to its knees.

[AwakenSafely]

wow......I think that the "synthetic CDO's" (derivatives) are probably the nasty boogey man that the government financial guys are trying to keep under the bed. Problem is....he's gotten WAY to big

[BlueTunisia]

Listen to Ron Paul!

Check out me and my brother's new show!!! Thanks! /watch?v=69k5XAoXQoA

[JOYCorporation2009]

Yea! We know who is going to pay back that interest. Great vid.

[morethan20]

Great analogy

[robinkoeman]

Excellent video! It's good to understand and visualise how much money we're talking about. 5/5

[valhala56]

Jacob, before the bubble "poped" I used to hang out at a Midwestern Casino. My wife worked as a cashier, she was given a $75,000 tray of cash to start her day. One of 5 or 6 cashiers on her floor she would go through that tray roughly 3 times a day in an 8 hour shift.

I would be amazed as I watched run of the mill type people playing blackjack with a couple of thousand $ chips in front of them and just wonder where did they get all this money? Now I know, Home equity, ha!

[AwakenSafely]

yep! or credit cards....seriously. then the credit cards were paid off with more refinancing. BLECH!

that's why I had to get out of the (home lending) business. So much blindness and artificiality

[mrcool011]

Great video!

[OhItsJustMe2]

Scary!

[sandorjohn]

According to John Walker former head of the GAO (the nation's top accountant) "a billion dollars of stacked 1000 dollar bills is 67 miles high". Not a trillion in your estimation on your video. Mr. Walker has a video posted on Youtube. Type in "a billion dollars" in your youtube search engine and see for yourself. If he's correct, then you are wrong. A trillion dollars is 1000 x 67 miles or 6, 700 miles high. Take a look.

[AwakenSafely]

so, if that's true....then I have understated the case. thanks. either way it is a monstrous number and shouldn't be ignored. :-)

[tinafiedler1]

good video, Jacob! :)

[AwakenSafely]

heeeeeeyyyyy, Tina!  :-) welcome back

[cv1122]

another great video, jacob

[AwakenSafely]

thank you!

[AwakenSafely]

yeah. pretty freakin' staggering, isn't it?

[AwakenSafely]

yes. I think lots of people are starting to wake up, but the general populace just wants to go back to sleep and hope the boogey man goes away

[MihiLibertas]

They will come back for more. the next one will be in the trillions.

[dexterriley]

Where is Ron Paul?..it saddens me to no end how he was marginalized in the MSM during the last election. Thanks for posting..

[endlessmountain]

Great video, thank you :)

[yeahSHEROCKS]

So much money, so much lack of imagination on how to use it...

The best way to repay it is to put the country on ebay I guess.

[slobomotion]

Very good. Why hasn't the U.S. already collapsed? This is just too much. We can't pay the interest, of course. Do you all listen to the news about Zimbabwe? I do. Horrible.

[AwakenSafely]

there's still a pretty large ball of confidence in the US economy and resilience of the consumer...this is in the process of eroding very quickly, in my opinion.  then "deep fried hell" breaks loose!

[scutter4christ]

Thanks Jacob. I have a hard time understanding some economic stuff so this helped to put things into better perspective for me.

[cevod123]

that is amazing and scary at the same time. Thanks for the info. If you figure 1 trillion seconds it equals 31,709 years if I did math correctly, pretty sure it right. (1 trillion / 60 seconds / 60 minutes / 24 hours/ 365 days = 31,709 years.

[ggadguy]

That's my favorite... if you spent 1 million dollars every day, since the birth of Jesus Christ, it would wouldn't equal 1 trillion dollars. Great video. 5 stars

[Nmhumbug]

Great info Jacob. I just can't get my head around a trillion. How long can we expect the rest of the world to finance our house of cards? It's not going to be pretty when the world wakes up.

[PestControl02]

great info! thank you!

[hellavadeal]

It would of made more sence to just give all of us a million and let us fix the econamy . LOL

[FatBastardPi]

Your videos rock Jacob!!

[Crafty1069]

Thank you for posting your videos. I know all the technical information about what's happening. I just wonder when enough is enough. When will this madness of printing and spending money for no foreseeable benefit to anyone ,except the banks ,stop.The sad part is it won't stop.

[AwakenSafely]

can't stop now...momentum is firmly established.

[outoftheboxinsight]

People are changing from within and are discovering that Consciousness is all there is. America always has been good in bottum-up revolutions and this one will ring lot's of light and love on the planet. The world as it is today is just a reflection of our Consciousness. We are just at the beginning of the Golden age. I love the line from America the beautiful; America, America confirmst thy soul in Self-control, thy liberty at law, and share thy good in brotherhood.

[outoftheboxinsight]

Well, Deus ex Machina, I even used that term in my paper Change of Era. Globally people are starting think about whats going on. The dollar was a great expression of the egoistic, mankinds created world order. Greed and the extreem cultivation of the Self has now created a moment in humankinds development that we are rising to a higher state of consciousness. Necessary for humanity in order to even survive as a species.

[Felix1085]

if there admitting 10 Trillion, then it will probably a lot more than that.

[FeverIAm]

Thanks Jacob - nice video :-)

[JurkoffJay]

Who's going to pay that money back?..

I don't know, but it aint gona be me! I didn't borrow shit from anyone!

[TheRedPriestofVenice]

those responsible should be dragged behind a car on a gravel road for that distance

[chena3]

cool a trillion $

a question please :

how long would it take

for the fed to print it ..?

[ a trillion dollars ]

woof ..

bad doggie

don't piss

on the printing press

[TheRedPriestofVenice]

Fortunately, only abut 3% of the money supply needs to actually be in paper form. So at least forests are not getting wiped out by our bailouts.

[lightleague]

Wow, good video. But now that I can grasp the idea of what 10 trillion dollars in debt looks like... my grasp of visualizing WWIII just got equally more clear. ;-0

[AwakenSafely]

aaaaaargh!  right?!

[qminusis]

I'just can't take it. That's to big to ract.

Good video.

[143DREWID]

may I have some please? just a cars length, an.... economy size! great shocker thanks

[AwakenSafely]

yeah, send me about a Hummer's length--scratch that, it would just fill up my garage and not be worth much...a small satchel of gold bullion would be nice, though :-)
