Learn What a "Trillion" Really is

WOW! This Piece Makes You Think

As I was cruising around Facebook tonight, I noticed one of my buddies updated his blog with an interesting story on YouTube from CNN. Thanks Nathan!

The story speaks to how much money a trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000.) actually is. Some of their illustrations are actually quite amazing.

The mathematician sort of hits the nail on the head. The public hears the words million, billion and trillion and doesn't really 'feel' the difference when a politician or economist spouts out 'illions on TV. OH how they're different. Pretty interesting...
