The US national debt was 16,230,035,314,851.93 dollars, as of November 4, 2012 at 01:41:48 AM GMT. That is 16.2 trillion dollars (and change).

One trillion dollars. Just looking at the 1 and 12 zeros, or just the word trillion, it doesn't seem like that much. What is a few zeros between friends. One trillion dollars is a massive amount of money. That is 1,000,000,000,000 dollars. Put it into perspective. If you could amass one trillion, one dollar bills, what would it look like? (or one trillion of anything else if you would rather.)

One US 1 dollar bill:

Dimensions: 2.61 inches wide x 6.14 inches long x 0.0043 inches thick

Volume: 0.0000398780208333 cubic feet.

Weight:1 gram.

For instance, one trillion one dollar bills would form a stack 67,866.16 miles high.

1,000,000,000,000 dollars x (0.0043 inches/dollar) x (1 foot / 12 inches) x (1 mile/5280 feet)

= 67,866.16 miles

Show your math and prove that you are not pulling numbers out of places the sun doesn't shine.

Obama, speaking on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, referred to the murders of four Americans in Benghazi as 'not optimal'. Was he hoping for more?

I am sickened by the President of the United States showing such blatant disregard for the lives of these Americans and their sacrifices. It is not a joke. The events were so sad. His response was salt to an open wound. This shows such poor judgement.

What are your views on this Obama comment?
