What’s a $trillion or so between friends

If you are old enough to remember  when a million dollars was hard to visualize, you will have lived through the era when politicians and financiers  first  to mouth “billion”.

 

Now trillion (tn) has  become common  language currency. But can you visualize a $trillion?
