What does a TRILLION dollars look like? (Via my good friend, John Crawford)
All this talk about "budgets," "stimulus packages," and "bailouts" . . . To help keep you up to speed on what your elected officials are talking spending your hard-earned money on each week, we have put this illustration together for you.
A billion dollars . . . A hundred billion dollars . . . Eight hundred billion dollars . . . One TRILLION dollars . . . As the late Senator Everett Dirksen once said, "A billion dollars here, a billion dollars there. Pretty soon you're talking about a lot of money!"
So, what DOES a TRILLION (with a `T') dollars look like? (Remember, this is our elected leadership!)
