It's been reported that the US deficit has reached 1 trillion dollars. that's a lot of moola! But how much exactly?
I'm trying to figure out how big a pile it would be..
one trillion: a '1' and 12 'zeros'
A stack of $1 dollar bills, would be a pile 0.003 x 1 trillion
3,000,000,000 inches
250,000,000 feet
47,348.48 miles! Almost twice around the planet!
if laid end to end:
6,000,000,000,000 inches
50,000,000,000 feet
94,696,969.7 miles
Or 3802 times around the globe
Or a 'one way' trip to the sun! (with change for soda once there!)
Does that sound right?
($1 dollar bill is 0.003 thick, and 6 long)
(5,280 feet in a mile)
(earths circumference = 24,902 miles)
(about 93 million miles between the sun & earth)
