US Debt 16 Trillion and counting....

It is now official.....our national debt is now more than $16 trillion dollars! That is a mind boggling number.

To appreciate it or not to appreciate it....a trillion, the BIG Trillion number, is so huge...imagine this:

If you spend $1 every second without taking a break, it will take you 31,688 years to spend that much money.

Or, if you spent $1 million dollars every day from the day Christ was born, today in the year 2012, you would have only spent $734.38 billions dollars!

My imagination fails me to think we owe this much money - $16 trillion! Let's get the printing machine ready. It will be one busy money printing machine.

But wait - how many trees we have to kill?
