It's really amazingly funny when you think about it, that no one seems to truly grasp what $1,000,000,000,000.00 actually is. That's $1 Trillion... or something along the lines of a partial of how much president hussein has given away.
And then THIS ARTICLE showed up and it sort of added some gravitas to the number.
It's not a political statement in and of itself, but that's where the beauty of this comes in... it took NASA and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory to see far enough to do something that could let you know what $1,000,000,000,000.00 could mean in hard numbers.
Scientifically one lightyear, or how far light travels in a 365 day period, is a measure of distance. Politically one lightyear is how far our own money has gotten away from us.
Have fun with this ones, kiddies, 'cuz Mr. Wizard has really enjoyed cooking it up for you.
I'm Dr. Calamity and I approve this message.
