A PICTURE IS WORTH A TRILLION DOLLARS

The picture above is TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS in $100 bills.

It is a nice small, pocket sized bundle neatly wrapped.

If you took enough of these ten thousand dollar stacks of hundreds to make

ONE HUNDRED MILLION dollars,

it would look like the picture below. A full pallet of bills.

The picture below is a BILLION DOLLARS.

Now we are getting somewhere.

If that is a billion dollars, imagine what a TRILLION dollars looks like (remember, we are talking about a thousand billion dollars). It looks like this picture below.

Notice that the pallets go on and on, and those pallets are double stacked.
Absolutely blows the mind doesn't it?
That is what we are talking about when President Obama and Treasury Secretary Geithner talks about when they mention a TRILLION DOLLARS.
Gives you a little perspective on the seriousness
of our current economic situation, doesn't it?
