davidswanson at AfterDowningStreet.org offers some perspective:
"There are 86,400 seconds in. . . . . one day. 1 million seconds in. . . . . . . . . 11.5 days. 1 billion seconds in. . . . . . . . . 31.5 years. 1 trillion seconds in. . . . . . . . .31,500 years. The next time you read in the papers something about a trillion dollars, consider that that number represents a-dollar-a-second for 31,500 years, from the age of mastodons and woolley mammoths all the way down to the present!"
