What A Trillion Dollars Looks Like

Video Overview & Insights

Things just got trill.

“

We are told we are $34 trillion dollars in debt. Look online at the "U.S. Debt Clock." You will see we are more than 200 trillion dollars in debt. A liability is what you owe. Look at the "Unfunded liability."

And America's economy is somewhere north of $20 trillion a year now. Richest and most powerful country ever. Why do we still have hungry kids and homeless people? The giant corporate winners get it all, evade taxes with sophisticated loopholes, and everyone else is left hanging out to dry. They built their fortunes on our backs, sidelining us as "independent contractors" and temp gig workers, mining our online profile data to buy and sell all day long for billions, and fleecing us with the most profit-driven healthcare industry in history. The increasing power of automation and AI technology for more cost-efficient production and fatter corporate bottom lines ensures these problems will only accelerate. Ain't it about time every American gets their cut? Google "Andrew Yang" and become part of the solution and the future.

We have $15 trillion in mortgages, $22.5 trillion national debt, $1.6 trillion in student loans, $1 trillion in credit card loans, and $1.4 trillion in personal loans that are not credit cards or student loans or home loans but this includes at least $1 trillion in car loans.

For those who really want to know how big a trillion is rather than just representing it from dollars or money.

Ex #1
A trillion rain drops 💦
Is equal to 50,000,000 liters (50 Megatons) of water.
All of those water can fill 1 million (1,000,000) Blue water drums... (And oh yeah each Blue water drums can be filled with 1 million drops of water.)

Ex #2

Light will travel 1 trillion kilometers in 1 month and 11 days...

Ex #3

If you will stack 1 trillion sheets of paper. The stack would be 100,000 kilometers high. It can fit 7 entire earths within that distance.

Ex #4

1 trillion grains of sand can fill 500k (500,000) 250ml cups.
(remember each 250ml cups can fit 2 million grains of sand)

Ex #5

1 trillion centimeters is 10 million kilometers. Which is halfway to the distance between Earth's orbit and the Venusian orbit...

Ex #6

How heavy is 1 trillion kg?
- 16.1 Billion people
- 833.3 Million Toyota corollas
- 1% of yo mama
- 4.8 Million statues of liberty
- 7.1 Million adult blue whales
