 WHAT’s A TRILLON$?

When I was much younger a $100 was a lot of money.  $1,000 was rich.  $10,000 was wealth.  $100,000 was extreme wealth beyond imagination.  Over the years the value of money became to mean less and less.  Our government ceased to talk about  thousand$ of dollars and spoke of million$ of dollars.  Some senator long ago said, “A million here and a million there and pretty soon you’re talking real money.” A few years later our government began to deal in billion$.  Today our government now not only deals in trillion$ of dollars, they deal in multi-trillion$ of dollars beyond human comprehension   What’s next?  Zillion$ of dollars.  Prices and cost of living go up accordingly.  I foresee the day soon a loaf of bread will cost $10.
