What's Another Trillion?

In 2008 a "governmental bailout package" was initiated that amounted to about 1 trillion dollars. Now, a "stimulus package" is being passed that will amount to another trillion. Have you ever really thought about one trillion dollars? I came across this list recently.

Here are some THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS:

• If you collected $1 million per day, every day since the birth of Christ, in 2009 you'd only be about 3/4 of the way to a trillion.
• If you got $1 every second, it would take almost 32,000 years to get to a trillion.
• If you stacked a trillion dollar bills on top of each other, it would go 68,000 miles into space--1/3 of the way to the moon.
• If you took 100-dollar bills and put them side to side, it would circle the equator 38.9 times

stay off the paved road...
