Is it possible that low information voters lack information of the magnitude of $4 Trillion?

4 Trillion is $4 Million Million.

Have you heard of someone winning a $4 million lottery drawing? That is a tidy sum to win but it represents only 0.0001% of $4 Trillion.

If you counted from 1 to 4 Trillion by advancing the count once every second it would take …

4 Seconds to count to $4
40 Seconds to count to $40
400 Seconds to count to $400
4,000 Seconds to count to $4,000
40,000 Seconds to count to $40,000
400,000 Seconds to count to $400,000
4,000,000 Seconds to count to $4,000,000
40,000,000 Seconds to count to $40,000,000 (Over 1 Year)
400,000,000 Seconds to count to $400,000,000 (Over 10 Years)
4,000,000,000 Seconds to count to $4,000,000,000 (Over 100 Years)
40,000,000,000 Seconds to count to $40,000,000,000 (Over 1,000 Years)
400,000,000,000 Seconds to count to $400,000,000,000 (Over 10,000 Years)
4,000,000,000,000 Seconds to count to $4,000,000,000,000 (Over 100,000 Years)

America’s US National Debt is rapidly approaching $17 Trillion, which would take over 500,000 years to count.

The US Total Debt is near $60 Trillion, which would take nearly 2 Million years to count.

Adding the US Unfunded Liabilities from Social Security, Prescription Drugs, and Medicare, the total is over $120 Trillion, which would take nearly 2 Million years to count.

Could it be that these greater numbers overshadow the deficit and debt numbers? Please take a peek at the US Debt Clock from time to time. There is a lot more information than the debt to discover.
