Twelve zeros is the latest craze as federal spending grows faster than revenues and deficits drive debt higher and faster.So, what does a trillion look like and what comes next?
First: When trillion becomesold school, what will replace it?
One Hundred dollars
The illustration starts with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. Most everyone has seen them, slightly fewer have owned them. Benji’s are certain to make friends wherever they go.
One Thousand dollars
Ten Thousand dollars
A packet of one hundred $100 bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains $10,000. 100 burritos can fit in your pocket easily and is more than enough for week or two of shamefully decadent fun.
One Million dollars
Believe it or not, this next little pile is $1 million worth of bills (100 packets of $10,000). You could stuff that into a grocery bag and walk around with it.
One Hundred Million dollars
While a measly $1 million looked a little unimpressive, $100 million in bread is a bit more respectable. It fits neatly on a standard pallet...
One Billion dollars
And 1 billion bux... now we're getting somewhere...
One Trillion dollars
And finally... $1 trillion dollars…
Notice the pallets are double stacked. ...and remember those are $100 bills. The next time you hear someone toss around the phrase "trillion dollars"... that's what they're talking about.
“Wow.”
