Many United States Citizens and Politicians are arguing whether or not a Trillion Dollars spent or saved by the Federal Government is a 'Big Deal'.
Central to the Problem of debating this issue, is that the Human mind cannot grasp nor understand exactly what a Trillion dollars means.
Total Tax Revenue for Fiscal Year 2010 in the United States was 2.16 Trillion Dollars and and Total Spent by the Federal Government in 2010 was 3.45 Trillion Dollars - this created a Deficit of 1.29 Trillion Dollars. Forty Cents ($.40) on every 'Deficit Dollar' spent in 2010 was borrowed - or approximately 516 Billion Dollars.
The Net worth of ALL Billionaires in the United States is 1.3 trillion dollars.
If ALL assets for ALL Billionaires in the United States were 'Seized', it would pay for the 2010 Deficit Spending.
The Graphic below illustrates 15 Trillion Dollars stacked in $100 Dollar bills.
