    Interesting perspective on some big numbers..........

    Was in my gov class today, and we got on the budget deficit..........so if the deficit is approx 1.7 trillion give or take a dollar or 2- if $1 = 1 second , then 1.7 trillion seconds = 54,000 years..................

    Put it another way...

    Imagine if you had a dollar for every trillion of the deficit. You'd end up with 1.7 of them!!!!

    Amazing, huh?

    Incorrect...you would only have one...you would book the second dollar when the deficit hit 2 trillion...

    Actually you would only have 1.02; as the dollar is only worth 60 cents.
