Bailout Costs in Big Macs
Lots of us are commenting on the difficulty in getting our hands on things like billions and trillions because there is no equivalencies in our lives to measure against. But if you try to actually do this you will find that a trillion bucks buys a trillion Big Macs, so what to do? Well here's a few examples for you to visualize:
If you laid one dollar bills end to end, you could make a chain that stretches from earth to the moon and back again 200 times before you ran out of dollar bills! One trillion dollars would stretch nearly from the earth to the sun. It would take a military jet flying at the speed of sound, reeling out a roll of dollar bills behind it, 14 years before it reeled out one trillion dollar bills.I know, nothing helps. Try a trillion equals four shit loads, that might work.
