How big is a trillion?

It's big. Very Big.

3.2 trillion dollar budget?

a million seconds (a thousand thousand) - 11 1/2 days
a billion seconds - 32 years
a trillion seconds - 32,000 years

stack dollar bills
100 bills - about 1/2 inch
1 million 1-dollar bills - 4 feet
1 billion 1-dollar bills - 4,000 feet (3 sears towers stacked on top of one another)
1 trillion 1-dollar bills - 789 miles (144 mt everests stacked on top of one another)

spend a 1,000 dollars a day
how long to spend a trillion dollars?
2.7 million years

a trillion dollars is enough to buy everyone in the united states 1,000 boxes of girl scout cookies

got this from a podcast called science friday... really puts into perspective i think exactly how big our proposed budget and how insane people have to be to spend that much money.
