 Its frightening how stupid the people in charge really are.

Most people can’t comprehend the difference between a Billion and a Trillion.

FUN FACT:
-It takes about 11 days to count to a million 
-It takes about 31 years to count to a billion. 
-It takes 31,000 YEARS to count to a trillion.

Think about that. 
 I think perhaps even longer. I've lost count at least 5 times. Last time I made it to 1284. Wife asked if I wanted a coffee. Boy was I mad.  
 I think that’s if you could say a number a second. Once you get in the millions it starts slowing down how fast you can say the number. 
 Just a thought experiment about seconds not counting
