We use the word 'Trillions' like we understand it -- a trillion in COVID relief here, two more over there - some liquidity injections for institutions today, bailouts tomorrow, quantatative easing, last month, never ending wars, etc. etc.
I refuse to believe the humans making these commitments truly know how big a trillion actually is. Before they enslave the futures of our children and grandchildren with government debt, they must be made to answer these simple questions (answers below):
1. How long is a million seconds?
2. How long is a billion seconds?
3. How long is a trillion seconds?
____________________________________________________
1 million = 12 days
1 billion = 31 years
1 trillion = 31,000 years
Slap anyone making these commitments that doesn't understand the math!
