How long would it take to count to ONE TRILLION?


Just how much is that, anyway? How long would it take to count to just ONE trillion? You couldn't count to one trillion in your lifetime, no matter how old you are now. The answer: It would take 31,700 years to count to ONE trillion.

If one trillion dollars were stacked, they would reach 68,000 miles high.

The United States is in debt by a staggering ELEVEN trillion dollars.

By my calculation that is about 39,285 per person, but I heard it was 134k per person in America. I must have missed a few zeros

But if the whole world would help us it would only be 1,620 per person.

Our debt could be paid back by the Chinese people if the only pay 8,371 per person. Those cheap bastards need to pay up.

How do we really know our debt is that high if it takes so long to count it? Nobody can count that high.

Hi Tavia!

Can you imagine $1620 for every person on earth. In 1980 the developing nations of the world had an average per capata GNP of $846.

I can see why Americans are so hated. The world is going to love it when we go down.
