    Million, billion, trillion? What’s the difference?

    A factor of a thousand. The refecting pool is a silly distraction! Total bullshit, but you could renovate a million reflecting pools for the price of one useless war (assuming you don’t value the lives or property of the people you’re fighting).

      What’s the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars? Essentially a billion dollars.

      Yeah… innumeracy really isn’t helping anybody here.

      Confused at where the 1.5 trillion comes from, but maybe I’m just not following closely enough.
