Grasp how much a trillion is . . .

	People can't grasp how much a trillion is.  For perspective, consider a measurement of time we're all familiar with - the second.  One million seconds comes out to be about 11½ days.  A billion seconds is 32 years.  And a trillion seconds is 32,000 years.  Compare that without debt, and you begin to see the looming problem we, as a nation are facing.
