How Much Is $1 Trillion?

[galatix27]

Does she know that she just repeated the guy when it came to that "other tidbit" at the end? John Paulos had specifically said that fact at 1:03. Someone wasn't paying attention when they wrote that.

...When they wrote that 2 and a half years ago. Oh dear this is old.

[KeeleyDub]

1:43 ... read the news headline at the bottom..

[te4888]

what's wrong with dude's hair?

[Cakevspie94]

lol :42 do you need a noted mathematician to do dimensional analysis? 365.25 x 2010x 1,000,000 hey can you guys get me on the news now?!?! Why do we even bother having schools :(

[heyandy889]

The gross national product is 12*10^12 dollars or 1.2*10^13. Ehhh. a trillion feels so big.

[randy109]

I suggest that anyone nearing retirement put at least a hundred Krugerrand in a coffee can and bury it in your backyard. It will probably wind up being worth more than $1,000,000 in the U.S. Savings bond you were counting on retiring on...

[randy109]

continued- As we pull the rug out from under the dollar, our 20 Trillion Dollar national debt will seem like "chump change" in 20 years or so. I was planning on retiring on a half million dollars in good ole Savings Bonds. In 10 years when I retire that will be worth squat. By wiping out our national debt we are also punishing those of us stupid enough to save bonds and other "safe" things like cash under your mattress. The dollar ain't gonna be worth a nickel in 20 years, I'd bet on it..

[freeenterpriseworks4]

It is IMPERATIVE the private sector unite, educate and communicate our economic interests so that we can affect government policy. Become a member today with The Free Enterprise Nation and stay informed of our initiatives combating the THREATS on our American economy.

[VOD713]

Why many Math Professors have a stranger hair cut....haha.. its like a trend

[freeenterpriseworks4]

The Federal governments debt affects all Americans because it must use resources that could be used on programs, tax relief or national defense to pay interest on our national debt. The government spent $173 billion in 2009 on interest owed on our national debt, and will spend an estimated $400 billion on interest over the next three years.

[AngryMalmsteen]

PROFITEERING. As old as prostitution and much more immoral. The defense budget for the US (not including wars) is 1 trillion dollars per year. You don't think the defense industry would do whatever it takes to pull the wool over our eyes? There is way too much money to be made. After WWII, the defense industry never dismantled or slowed down. Citizens don't automagically go to war, they have to be shepherded to it. Germany became that way starting with Hitler's bombing of his own Reichstag.

[AngryMalmsteen]

The Gulf of Tonkin was a faked event that took us to Vietnam. Before WWII, America grew very quickly. Since WWII and the Military Industrial Complex, we have created an industry that leeches off of our tax dollars. With that much money at stake, you could assassinate anyone who gets in your way. Or in Bush's case, install a monkey puppet.Our defense industry needs wars. Talk about a handout, this is also the biggest welfare program ever.

[dojufitz]

Once they start bailing out in quad and quintrillions - only then will it work.

[BizzaroHod]

a trillion should never have ever been talked about for a bailout i mean damn a Trillion that's like 100 thousand million happy meals they'll be shitting bricks for weeks oh yeah how come Obama gave retards stimulus money when they already get 700 dollars a month you think he would have helped out the people that have no job and need money to eat not for some retard that's just gonna give it to their drug dealer I WILL take a gun and shoot the first motherfucker who voted for that Muslim NIG.

[slacker3918]

calm down you dumb bitch, bush also supported bailouts and approved economic stimulus (AKA giving money out)

[xsuperrebeldefanx]

who would spend 1 million dollars every day lol!

[Merlyn677]

that guy looks like a math professor alright o.o

you know you can say they're all just hypocrites (and they are) but I'd rather we blow our money fixing roads than fighting two overseas wars

[caughtupinthematrix]

i agree

[mindprism]

Solid Gold Aircraft Carrier:

97,000 tons

3,421,574,309 ounces

$3,250,495,593,550.00 Dollars

3.25 trillion

[galatix27]

@mindprism Did... Did you figure that out yourself? And if so, why?

[mindprism]

@galatix27 I wanted a realistic way to visualize a huge amount of money. I way where the human mind could almost comprehend it.

[Zax0ph0ne]

ahahah the fact she said at the end was already said x__x

[raaaabert]

Exactly!!

Her tidbit at the end was a reiteration of the Math Professors calculation. Did she even watch the segment. Taking head alright.

[CuradFlex]

wow...usa is in deep trouble and no one is going to help us. We haave allready borrowed all the money for are last stimulus chech where is all the money coming for this one??? Where becoming more socialist every day.

[Joe402]

I like how Republicans are bitching about spending after the Iraq war.

[onemanband1963]

Yes. I know my Republican senator voted for the $750 billion Wall Street bailout; however, w/this bill, designed to benefit the American citizenry, all the sudden, he's opposed to 'excessive spending'. What a hypocrite!

[zzx2847]

We could have 2 (count em) Iraq wars with the money in the new Obama spending bill!!!

And weren't the Dems criticizing the spending for Iraq back in 2004-2006, as if it were an absurd amount of money? What a bunch of hypocrites!

[kewltony]

fail

[simply2love]

don't you think how we spend the money matters?

Killing brown people and endangering american soldiers

vs

Providing jobs and education

you pick

[spliffsperlunk]

They should have given an example of how many U.S. States china would hold as collateral for borrowing this trillion dollars.

[Richardgwm]

So, why would you stack up a trillion one dollar bills?

[lotzova]

to realize how much money you're spending

[bucktotim]

9/11 = Israel

How many of you know that ONLY (5) Israelis died on 9/11?

1 Israeli = on 1st plane to hit North tower

1 Israeli = on 2nd plane to hit South tower

2 Israelis = Inside WTC

1 Israeli = WTC Janitor with keys

Stand up straight. Hold (2) 20lb sacks of bullshit, 1 over your head and 1 outstretched over thin air. Now drop both sacks of bullshit until you can get the one over your head to fall through your body at the same speed as the one through thin air. Yes, it is bullshit.

[bucktotim]

Zionism is a racist crime against humanity that should be destroyed:

1. Zionists own the Federal Reserve and Bank of London

2. Zionists own the Media

3. Zionists have done multiple False Flag Ops against America in the past 50 years

4. Zionists are the Official Propagandists that are spreading lies

5. Zionists did 9/11 and were all over the place on 9/11. Hundreds arrested.

[bucktotim]

(Continued)

6. Zionists overthrow/control Monarchs like in England or Russia

7. Zionists generate hate from one race to another but never against their own

8. Zionists are in charge of Educational Propaganda

9. Zionists continue to use the Holocaust HOAX just like they use the 9/11 FALSE FLAG

10. Zionism is BOTH a RELIGIOUS CULT and a RACE CULT. The most evil forms of Bigotry known to man.

[zzx2847]

They've shown Bush five times in this video, but didn't show Obama, the guy with the BIGGER stimulation package.

CNN = Partisan propaganda machine.

[moofph]

...quadrillion is next.

(that's one thousand trillion)

i've also read the world economy has over a quadrillion dollars worth in Credit Default Swaps.

tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-----K­ABOOM!

[Unkn0wnGuy]

Yeah apparently that's what killed the world banking system... they now owe more money than what the world has. There might be a boom in the forest industry with the amount of printing they are doing.

[ort777]

Wow!
