Recently the U.S. Congress pass a budget over $1.3 trillion and President Trump signed it.

Most people have no conceptual idea how large a trillion is.  A person called into a radio talk-show and offered an illustrated to help people understand the enormity of a trillion.  

He said if each dollar in that trillion represent a time element of one second that would go back in time 32,000 years.  That is 30,000 BC, before Jesus Christ was born which as two-thousand years ago.  

The math:
60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour:
60 x 60 = 3,600 seconds in an hour.
There are 24 hours in a day:
3,600 seconds per hour x 24 hours = 86,400 seconds in a day.
86,400 seconds in a day x 365 days (one year) = 31,536,000.
31,536,000 seconds in a year x 32,000 years = 1,009,152,000,000.
