Today's Wall Street Journal's lead story told of the $2.4 trillion budget proposed by the White House. For me they loose me after the first three zeros, so I translated that into Dollars spend per second; still beyond my reach but at least it is an understandable amount. Calculation: $2,400,000,000,000.00 / 365.25 days in a year * 24 hours in a day * 60 minutes in an hour * 60 seconds in a minute. Result: $76,051.41/second Probably more than most people in US make in a year. 7:26:58 PM    comment []
