spending. if you look at the president s critics, look at the debt clock and they look at the deficit and they see, you know, the debt going up roughly $4 billion a day, 28 trillion, ben, at this point and we glaze over these numbers and understanding that neither party has really done anything about it, to be fair, but i wanted to put up this graphic about just giving perspective, and that is if you count one second being at a rate of one number per second, counting to 1 million, it would take 12 days, counting to 1 billion would take 31 years. counting to 1 trillion would take 31,688 years. i think we lose perspective of what a trillion is when we are talking about 3.5 trillion, 1 trillion, all of these numbers. that just gives you a little bit of perspective, ben. and i don t think that the american people are all that enthused about what they believe they re going to be getting for this amount of money.
