What Does $1 Trillion Look Like?
Posted on 03.05.09 by K. Daniel Glover @ 2:08 pm

A trillion here, a trillion there — what’s money? That’s the impression you may get when you hear politicians and bureaucrats talk. Now for a little perspective from PageTutor:

Each pallet is $100 million, and they are double-stacked. The red-and-blue speck on the left is a man. Every taxpayer is an even tinier speck in the Big Government scheme of things.

The image is even more powerful when seen in contrast to $10,000, $1 million, $100 million and $1 billion. Get the full effect here.
