With all of the recent news about bailouts, war expenditures, and stimulus packages–the word “trillion” has been thrown around a lot. To most of this, this is a number too larger to even comprehend, sort of like one million, one-hundred million, or a billion. It is important to understand the difference, though. PageTutor has a pictorial that demonstrates what a trillion dollars looks like–and I’d suggest everyone take a look.

For those who are too lazy to surf over to PageTutor, here is the last picture–of a trillion dollars stacked next to an average height man.
