don't worry, that's over your pay grade
you really should never think about it
it'll just make your head hurt
here, watch...
for example: - let's say you wanted to be a good citizen
and wanted to help out and pay down a billion dollars of the
ok, if you paid one dollar a second, it would almost take 32 years!
to pay off a trillion dollars of debt, at a dollar a second
would take about 32,000 years
catch this: about a billion minutes ago,
the roman empire was in full swing
(one billion minutes is about 1,900 years.)
about a billion hours ago, we were living in the stone age
(one billion hours is about 114,000 years)
about a billion months ago, dinosaurs walked the earth
(one billion months is about 82 million years)
a billion inches is 15,783 miles, more than halfway around the earth
the earth is about 8,000 miles wide (diameter),
and the sun is about 800,000 miles wide, not quite a million
so, when you hear on the news... a billion anything, much less,
- 20 billion this or 50 billion that...
or (i'm laughing so hard i can't even type it)
- that we're in debt $14,000,000,000,000.00 (that's with a "T")
just go to the store and buy some lottery tickets
and a great big box of DEPENDS
