One Trillion Dollars Visualized from Mint

Mint Software follows on the popularity of the previous “Debt Hell” infographic, by releasing a new video visualizing $1 Trillion.

It’s official, trillion is the new billion. No longer is government spending talked about in terms of a mere ten digits. With the recent flurry of government spending, we are going to need another three zeros to make sense of it all. One trillion dollars is a number that few people can comprehend, let alone your standard nine digit calculator. So what does one trillion dollars look like?

A fun & entertaining look into a truly depressing statistic. See the video after the break.
