Trillion is the new billion in today's Washington budgeting

A trillion is a thousand times more than a billion and those are the numbers Washington is now. It would take an average income household making $50,000/year 20 billion years to pay off a trillion, yet the deficits, federal budget, and national debt are all in the trillions now. A million millions is a trillion and this article is talking about how much money people are talking nowadays and just how MUCH it all has become, because before billion was the big number, but now people have even bypassed that.
