Math: Money and Numbers Comparision With Time

In an interview this morning on NPR, they were discussing methods to better understand the incredible numbers involved in National finance.  A helpful comparison for me was the relationship with seconds.

  • One million seconds > 11.5 Days
  • US population is 300 Million or > 9 years
  • One billion seconds > 31.7 Years
  • The US national Debt is currently $10.6 Trillion or > 31,000 years
