No I counted the zeros on a calculator LOL I suck so bad at math. It’s $600 billion. A million million is a billion. So if you have 300 million it’s 300 billion and times 2 = $600 billion, a drop in the bucket for what this country wastes especially in money we give to countries that spit on us.

A million has 6 zeroes, a billion has 9 and a trillion has 12

a thousand million is a billion

That's a trillion. A thousand million is a billion. Brits used to use your definition. They no longer do. By the way, the Brits used to define a trillion as a million million million. Now they define it the same way we do - a million million.
