1 TRILLION SECONDS


Tomorrow (15th March 2017) will see a decision made on the U.S. Debt Ceiling.

The Debt Ceiling currently stands at $20tn and all eyes will be on the decision made.

In the meantime, have you ever wondered just how big 1 trillion is..??

I thought I would relate it to seconds and measure 1 trillion seconds back in time.

1 trillion seconds would take you back over 31,000 years or to a time around 30,000 BC..!!

If you are not convinced, you can always Google it.



Now that is 1 trillion. For 20 trillion, I would need a bigger calculator..!!

These are serious and challenging financial times and one that will see huge gains in both GOLD and SILVER as Global Debt dilutes Fiat Currency into oblivion.


Thanks again for reading.

I m wondering who is on the other side and whether they think they are ever going to see their money again.

From what I understood listenting to Stefan Molyneux, a large creditor is China. However, I don't understand it, when he says we are selling the unborn into slavery. Is there a possibility of China coming over to the US and enslaving the people for the dept?

Also, I wonder when the interest on the dept will become larger than GDP. Will the system then collapse?

What are your thoughts on this?

China, Russia, Europe, UK, Middle East, everyone has a slice of the pie and that pie is crumbling. China and Russia are the two biggest potential headaches for US Debt and I guess things are going to get exciting in the coming weeks. Stephen
