Video: How Much Is $100,000,000?
Back in the good old days, when the U.S. government's budget was a tight-fisted $3.5 trillion, a young man made a video. It is one of the great instructional videos of all time. It lasts 97 seconds.
President Obama was promising to cut $100,000,000 from the budget.
We cannot get our minds around this number. We need help. This video offers help. The help is visual. This is what we need to handle big numbers.

It gets worse. The present value (not future value) of the unfunded liabilities of the U.S. government total $210 trillion. I know of no image that conveys this.
