Visualizing One Trillion Dollars (INFOGRAPHIC)

mint.com — It’s official, trillion is the new billion. No longer is government spending talked about in terms of a mere ten digits. With the recent flurry of government spending, we are going to need another three zeros to make sense of it all. Mar 12, 2009 View in Crawl 4

That's a small fraction of the change in my pocket. I know. It's big.

Seems somewhere I heard the US, purple mountains, fruited plains, cheeseburgers, t shirts, discos, mansions, corporations, color tv's, Disneyland et any thing you could toss in was in total worth the first trillion about 1974.Statue of Liberty and Graceland.... your comic book collection..... One measly trillion takes all. The first.But now the word seems to be locking arms with the word DEBT, and not just one, ten, forty, who knows?Maybe my facts are wrong, but still it gives me a sick feeling.
