Picture a Trillion

When people talk of a trillion dollar deficit you need a computer to even picture what it would look like, because their aren't enough bills to stack 'em up for real. At Gizmodo.com they used Google's Sketch Up 3D modeling software, and a lot of multiplication, to render a trillion as it would look if made out of $100 bills on double stacked pallets of $100 million each.
