A TRILLION Dollars????? $1,000,000,000,000

What's a Trillion?
13 digits, never thought about that part. 13, Is it Lucky or Unlucky?

Everett Dirksen, one time Minority Leader of the Senate from 1959 to 1969, maybe most famous for the quote, "A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon, you're talking real money".

Do calculators go to a Billion? How about a TRILLION? How many zeros is that?
9 for a Billion and 12 for a Trillion – but who’s counting?

The next time you hear a politician use the Word 'BILLION' in a casual manner, think about whether you want that 'politicians' spending - YOUR TAX MONEY!
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of it's releases. And don't even start them talking about a Trillion, you're head will explode.

So let's see:

1 year = 365 days (no, we're not counting leap years!) 

So…drum roll, please…

one year would equal 365 times 24 times 60 times 60 seconds…
or 31,536,000 seconds! 
That's over 31 million seconds you have to spend over the next year.

A Billion seconds ago, about 31.7 years, The world's most popular word processing program is launched Microsoft Word

• A Terrorist attack by a suicide bomber destroys the United States Embassy in Beirut, killing 63
• The first mobile phones, are introduced to the public by the Motorola Company.
• Sally Ride on June 18th becomes first American woman in space on the Space Shuttle Challenger.

One TRILLION seconds ago – 31,688 years – Neanderthals stalked the plains of Europe.

A Billion minutes ago, approximately 1902 years, it was 114 A.D. and China discovers paper, made from rags and the fibres of mulberry, laurel and Chinese grass.

A TRILLION minutes ago, about 1.9 million years, the earliest known species of the genus of man, Homo. habilis, was in the middle of its reign on earth and our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

A Billion hours ago, about 114 thousand years, our ancestors were living in the Lower Paleolithic era "Old Stone Age".

A TRILLION hours is about 114 Million years, the first modern mammals roamed the earth, the World begins to cool (there was massive global warming back then also) and dinosaurs were in their heyday during the Cretaceous period.

A Billion days ago, about 2.74 million years, Homo. habilis, was in the beginning of its reign on earth.

A TRILLION days age, about 3 billion years ago, the Earth's atmosphere gets oxygen and the formation of the first known continent called "Ur".

A billion dollars ago was only 4 hours ago,
at the rate our government is spending it today,
and getting shorter by the minute.

If you spent a dollar per minute,
you could barely spend a TRILLION dollars during-------------

(drum roll please)..........

wait for it......

ALL OF KNOWN HUMAN HISTORY !!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Even if you spent $100 per minute, you would not be able to spend a TRILLION dollars in 300 years,

virtually the entire history of the United States.

Packed in bales of $100 bills (each bill weighing a gram), a TRILLION dollars would be 10 billion $100 bills, or about 10 million kilograms, 22 million pounds, or over 10,000 tons of cash (at 2000 pounds per ton).

A TRILLION dollars in $100 bills would occupy a million cubic feet of space. It would fill a football field 6 feet deep.

A stack of 1 TRILLION dollar bills would be 67,866 miles high or 2.73 times the circumference of the earth.
It could reach 1/3 of the way to the moon.

A TRILLION $10 bills, taped end to end, would wrap around the Earth more than 380 times.

You could spend $10 million a day and it would still take you 273 years to spend $1 trillion dollars.

One TRILLION is more stars than there are in the entire Milky Way GALAXY,.................
but who's counting?


Have an AWESOME day

DON'T BE BLUE
