What's the difference between a million, a billion, a trillion?
A million seconds is 12 days.
A billion seconds is 31 years.
A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.

A million minutes ago was – 1 year, 329 days, 10 hours and 40 minutes ago.
A billion minutes ago was just after the time of Christ.
/web/forums/replythread/images/storyend_dingbat.gif
A million hours ago was in 1885.
A billion hours ago man had not yet walked on earth.

A million dollars ago was five (5) seconds ago at the U.S. Treasury.
A billion dollars ago was late yesterday afternoon at the U.S. Treasury.
[Note: this was pre-Obama]

A trillion dollars is so large a number that only politicians
can use the term in conversation... probably because they
seldom think about what they are really saying. I've read that
mathematicians do not even use the term trillion!
Here is some perspective on TRILLION:
Trillion = 1,000,000,000,000.
The country has not existed for a trillion seconds.
Western civilization has not been around a trillion seconds.
One trillion seconds ago – 31,688 years – Neanderthals stalked the plains of Europe.
A million seconds is 12 days.
A billion seconds is 31 years.
A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.

eh it's only about 40K per person
hell we've spent more half that per Israeli
fuckin' income taxes, we just keep paying like a bunch of dumbass slaves fresh off the boat. If people weren't such bitches refused to give the government their labor for free (well the fruits of it, you don't have to live in the slave house anymore, but don't pay and you'll still end up shackled) we would have hit rock bottom a long time ago, and maybe just maybe politicians wouldn't be writing checks from a no limit account.

meh, I don't think we will ever pay it back, jokes on them.
Or if we do pay it back we will get the better half of the deal. Overall I am not too worried about it. My patriotism is pretty low, I would have no problem going to Europe or Mexico. I would kill myself before I went to Canada though.

im playing devil's advocate here.......Obama was forced spend hundreds of billions of dollars when he came into office. partly Bush's fault (war's cost money) and partly Clinton's fault (socioeconomics). What is Obama's fault is the complete mismanagement of the money and the way/who it was distributed to.

Even if you take away the stimulus, the deficit is still at 1 trillion dollars, and that also account for the money out of the stimulus that has been paid back. Keep in mind these numbers come from the Congressional Budgeting Office (Nanci Pelosi) and the White House. We have never had spending anywhere near this.

He never once during the campaign ever said anything about removing troops from Afghanistan. He always said he was going to increase troop levels. If you didn't pick this up you were not paying attention.
The stimulus is still filtering into the economy. Americas infrastructure is terrible. It is going to be great to have the money to repair our transportation system and also expand with high speed rail and other projects. I would rather spend 1 trillion dollars in the US than 1 million in the middle east.
There are already several projects in the Denver area that now have the funds to be completed. Rebuilding union station, the light rail, etc.
And the whole war on terror idea is bull shit. As we now know it is not a war at all. What it should be is a coordinated police effort against a well organized criminal conspiracy.
As far as presidents go Obama has done almost everything he said he was going to do.

You know neither Communism nor Socialism. China knows real Communism. The former Soviet Bloc countries know real Socialism. This is nothing near the scale and scope of either of those two examples.
That said, it's pretty obvious that both sides are at fault here. Perhaps if we had some real bipartisanship in Washington, D.C., something would actually be getting done about this. Skew it however you want, but the Democrats have refused to reach out to Republicans and the Republicans have refused to reach out to Democrats. That's all there is to it. Work together, make compromises, and the crisis could easily be solved.
