$1,000,000,000,000

Do you know what $1 trillion means? The government is spending about $9.7 trillion on all the loans and bailouts. According to CNN.com, 1 trillion stacked dollars would reach nearly 68,000 miles, or one-third of the way to the moon. A professor interviewed by CNN.com computes you couldn’t spend $1 trillion if you spent $1 million a day since the day of Jesus’ birth.
