I found this quit interesting to give a mental picture of our national debt. Here is the scope of 1 trillion dollars
> One trillion seconds are 31,688 years from the time of the bailout. One bank earned $193 million in one year. To earn a trillion at that rate would take 5,000 years.
> One trillion dollars would give every high school student free college for 4 years.
> If we paid back $1 trillion, paying $1 every second, it would take 32,000 years to pay the $1 trillion debt.
> If we make a stack with $100 bills, $1 million would be 4 feet high and $1 billion would be 4,000 feet high.
> One trillion dollars would stack 789 miles high.
One dollar is 6 inches long, and $1 trillion laid end to end would stretch from the earth to the sun, a total of 93 million miles.
WOW!!!
