Big numbers

We usually have problem comprehensing big numbers. Scientists estimate the universe is about 13 billion years old, recorded history of human is only a few thousand years. The Big Bang was long, long, gosh long ago.

The Economic Stimulus plan involves big numbers: $800 billions to $1 trillion. Now how much is that money?

Here is a very interesting analogy:

If you started the day Jesus Christ was born and spent $1 million every day since then, you still wouldn't have spent $1 trillion.

Now you have better idea how much that Stimulus Plan is. And let me remind you, the birth of Jesus Christ was 2000+ years ago, and the United States is only around for 200 some years. That's quite unthinkable isn't it.
