Really big numbers

Like six trillion.

Think about it. Twelve zeroes.

6,000,000,000,000

That's our national debt (see The National Debt Clock for a precise number).

If you paid that off at $1.00 per second you'd be done in:

Two hundred thousand years (190,258.75 to be exact based on the round 6T starting point).

My paltry school loans, mortgage and car payments don't feel nearly as overwhelming now.
