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

I made this film a few years ago....today September 2, 2011...US Debt tops $10 Trillion for the first time in history! I still don't know how much a trillion is!

The government bailed out Wall Street to the tune of $170 Billion? I'm not even sure anymore. Bernie Madoff the goniff stole $50 Billion in the biggest Ponzi scheme ever, and I'm about to be taken to the American Express Abu Gahreb. What's wrong with this picture?

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)

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.

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