A friend just sent this link to me that provides a visual representation of what a trillion dollars look like. After you walk through the web page the final graphic represents the amount of money that just the US is infusing into the economy to stimulate growth.
What Does One Trillion Dollars Look Like?
If you start adding up all the money other countries are also infusing into the world wide economy it can be rather eye opening. If you were wondering how long the economic crisis is going to last, understanding how much money is being pushed in to bolster the economy is a good place to start. Once this money starts pushing through the economy it will only be a matter of time before it starts affecting everything.
