You may have seen this before.  If not, it is quite interesting.

Keep an ear out for references to quadrillion.

A thousand trillions.

We're currently approaching $100 trillion when you add the off balance sheet liabilities to the reported national debt, so a quadrillion isn't as far away as you might think.

Oh yeah!  Staring at the debt clock is a wonderful way to drive oneself completely insane!
