What does 1 Trillion look like

Hey everyone. This post is slightly different than some of the others and will be fun to look at. I know that with the previous post I mentioned 1 trillion dollars was being pumped into the U.S. economy. Now we throw numbers like one billion, one trillion around and its hard to really see what that amount of money looks like. So I looked up some websites that helped draw a picture of how much money that really is. So here are a couple of links that will show you how much 1 trillion is.

2) http://www.mint.com/blog/finance-core/visualizing-one-trillion-dollars/
3) http://www.pagetutor.com/trillion/index.html

Now everyone please hear me. I am not trying to make you fearful or worry about this economy and how you are going to make it in the long run. Remember that Jesus himself told us not to store up for ourselves treasure on earth where moth and rust destroy, but rather to store up for ourselves treasure in heaven where neither moth or rust can destroy (Matt 6:19-21). So just take a look at those links if you like and get an understanding of where we are as a nation and how we are being foolish and not being wise with what we have been entrusted with.

***** Important Video - This is the link to the website of the video I mentioned recently in a post (http://www.heritage.org/Press/Events/ev092706a.cfm). Please watch this video it is about an hour long. This woman has seen extreme Islam in a country that was largely democratic and had open borders just like our country. The similarities to our country and the direction we are heading are strangely similar*****

  1. I don't know if you've visited or not, but here is a posting I did a while back on the subject...usually I just take shameless digs at the administration (it's so easy)
