One what?

One trillion seconds ago, the earliest known cave paintings were being made.

One trillion heart beats is enough for 384 lifetimes.

One trillion watts are released in a lightning strike in manner of microseconds.

One trillion dollar bills stacked on each other would reach 1/3 of the way to the Moon.

One trillion miles is almost 40,225,700 times the distance around Earth and almost 42,200 times the distance from Earth to Venus. It’s nearly 4,000 times the distance from Earth to Mars at its most distant orbit.

One trillion is the US national deficit over the last nine months. That means we bought more than we sold. It’s 13% of our GDP, more than twice the previous record. Put another way, that’s about $3,300 for every America.

It’s past time to reprioritize our spending and cut back to core services.
