How much exactly is 1 TRILLION dollars?


Well, for starters, one trillion dollars is how much the United states has spent on the war in Iraq. As for me, it doesn't matter what your political views are, but it seems that if you could really wrap your mind around how much a trillion dollars is, you might see that enough is enough. That is exactly what Rob Simpson has done in his new book What We Could Have Done With the Money: 50 Ways to Spend the Trillion Dollars We've Spent on Iraq. Imagine what a trillion dollars could have done for America? Well, all
you have to do is visit this website and spend away. It's exhausting as a matter of fact--not that I would mind. Heck, I could buy the Astros--and keep spending!
