What does one TRILLION dollars look like?
All this talk about "stimulus packages" and "bailouts"... A billion dollars... A hundred billion dollars...
Eight hundred billion dollars... One TRILLION dollars...
What does that look like? I mean, these various numbers are tossed around like so many doggie treats, so I took GoogleSketchup out for a test drive and try to get a sense of what exactly a trillion dollars looks like.
We'll start with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. Most everyone has seen them, slighty fewer have owned them.
Dear ole Benjamin Franklin is guaranteed to make friends wherever he goes .
