So what does a trillion dollars look like?

I figured I'd post this because I've heard quite a few people throwing the 1.9 trillion around like its nothing and blah blah blah, its nothing, don't worry about it.. Obviously people don't know the magnitude of how much is going to be spent.

This is copied from another forum.
If you had gone into business on the day Jesus Christ was born, and your business lost a million dollars a day, day in and day out, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, it would take you until October 2737 to lose a trillion dollars.

That's right, after 2009 years of losing a million dollars a day, you'd still have over 700 years left to piss money away.

Edit: Here's a national debt clock for you too.http://zfacts.com/p/461.html
