$100. We'll start with a hundred dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. Most everyone has seen them, slightly fewer have owned them. Guaranteed to make friends wherever they go. $10,000. A packet of one hundred hundred dollar bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains ten thousand dollars. Fits in your pocket easily and is more than enough for a week or two of shamefully decadent fun. $1,000,000. Believe it or not, this next little pile is a million dollars (100 packets of $10,000). You could stuff that into a grocery bag and walk around with it. $100,000,000. While a measly 1 million dollars looked a little unimpressive, 100 million dollars is a little more respectable. It fits neatly on a standard pallet... $1,000,000,000. A BILLION dollars... now we're really getting somewhere...
$1,000,000,000,000. A TRILLION dollars! This is that number we've been hearing about so much. What is a trillion dollars? Well, it's a million million. It's a thousand billion. And notice that those pallets are double-stacked. So the next time you hear someone toss around the phrase "trillion dollars"... this is what they're talking about.
yeah... stack that up 9 times and that's our deficit...
11 times, actually: http://www.usdebtclock.org/
At this point I wish it were only 9 times XD
In business, I must compare things to make them relevant to the viewer/ analyzer. So, I figured it would benefit those who are not familiar with a standard size pallet (I'm assuming you are refering to a 42" x 42" production pallet) and size it up to something similar (car, bike, computer monitor, etc.). Now, finding something as large as your trillion dollar example may be hard to come by, but would greatly illustrate the massive amount of money it really is.
Next, illustrating an example with 1's would really put a shock to the absurdity.
I wish to thank all young Americans for supporting and standing up for OUR Republic ; The United States of America.
Liberalism has been on a path of destroying our Christian values, our heritage, our cistoms and our freedoms here in America. I am a disable Veteran who served this great Nation in military service for 18 years. I took an oath as a soldier to defend this great Nation against all enemies bothe foreing and DOMESTIC. This oath goes to the grave with me.
It is the youth of our country that needs to wake up. We need to infiltrate the liberal universities,where Professors don't teach students to think for themselves or to seek truth and fact, but rather dictate to them their ideals based upon "theories". For example, the theory of world peace with no tyrants, no greed, no corruption and evil is a nice theory, but anyone with any degree of commons sense knows that it is and always will be impossible. The youth of today needs to wake up to the facts that our freedoms and our way of life is in peril.
I commend all of you for standing up for America and will physically stand and fight to preserve our Constitution, Our customs, Our heritage and Our freedoms. I am not afraid, and I will die in the street today in defense of all of the above.
Thank you

This is so much money that it is uncountable and this the type of money that our government spends all the time. WE have to be able to control this spending in the future.
