Remember when a million was a lot of money. Found this annecdote that helps quantify it.
Mathematician John Allen Paulos puts “million,” Billion,” and “trillion” in context, likening them to the passage of time in order to understand their order of magnitude. Relate $1 million to one million seconds and it adds up to 11 days. Liken $1 billion to one billion seconds and it adds up to 31 years and six months. Compare $1 trillion to one trillion seconds and it adds up to more than 315 centuries.
Currently the Unites States debt amounts to over $10 trillion.
