We hear about bills that get passed for 1.5 trillion, and how the iraq / afghan war (based on weapons that never existed) siphoned away over 1 trillion dollars. And how covid shut downs cost America approximately 5 trillion in damage, etc.

A fun exercise to explain to normies how big a trillion is.

Imagine you have a time machine and eternal life. You go back to year zero. Every day someone walks up to you with a suitcase of 1 million dollars. When you reach year 1, you now have 365 million dollars (365,000,000). By year 3 you've accumulated 1 billion dollars. Jesus is now a toddler. This continues past the death of christ, past the fall of Rome, years flying away like pages of a calendar in a movie. Ghengis Kahn rises and falls, the medeival period, the dark ages, the disovery of America in the 1400's, all the world wars, the first man in space, Vietnam, all the way until today you got your last suitcase. You STILL don't have 1 fucking trillion dollars. You'll have approx 739 billion. Not even 3/4 of 1 trillion. This number should never be discussed in a casual way, they're incomprehensible to most.

It also speaks volumes how great America is that it's economy can have trillions stolen and it still survives and produces anyway. This is the power of white people doing hard work. All we have to do is get rid of the thieves.
