$$ Just How Much is 16 Trillion Dollars $$

                                         
                             The National Debt is approaching $16 Trillion.


Any idea just how much $16 Trillion is? Numbers-wise it looks like this: $16,000,000,000,000.

Recently, Neil Cavuto who hosts "Your World with Neil Cavuto" on The Fox News Channel opined as to just how much this number this mega-number is:

  • If you were to spend $1 Million a day from the day Christ was born you would not be near $1 Trillion, much less $16 Trillion.
  • $16 Trillion would feed 77 billion American households for 187 years.
  • $16 Trillion would by a $500 Million house for 32 million Americans.
  • $16 Trillion would pay for 6,400 NASA missions to Mars.
  • $16 Trillion would by a $53 Thousand car for every American.
  • $16 Trillion would fund the U.S. Dept. of Education for 207 years.
  • $16 Trillion would fund Medicare for 21 years.
  • $16 Trillion would fund both Medicare and Social Security for 13 years.
  • Taxpayers pay $227 Billion interest on that $16 Trillion.
Thanks, Neil....astute as always!
