A million seconds ago was April 14th.
A billion seconds ago was 1994.
A TRILLION seconds ago was 30,000 B.C.
The US national debt grows by $1 Trillion every 150 days.
The difference between a million and a billion is 31 years.
The difference between a billion and a trillion is 31,000 YEARS.
And the US national debt is growing by $1 TRILLION every 5 months.
While you read this sentence, the debt grew by thousands of dollars.
History is full of empires that borrowed too much and thought the math would never catch up. It always does.
