They may talk of a "New Order" in the  world, but what they have in mind is only a revival of the oldest and worst tyranny.   No liberty, no religion, no hope.   It is an unholy alliance of power and pelf to dominate and to enslave the human race.

Assume we spend a dollar for every second, for every minute, for 24 hours, a million $1,000,000 would be gone in 11.57 days.   A billion dollars $1,000,000,000 spent at the same rate, would take 11,574 days or 31.07 years.  Now for a trillion dollars $1,000,000,000,000 spent at the same rate of a dollar for every second, for every minute for every hour for every day, it would take 31,070 years.  This kind of puts it in perspecitve value that is easily understood by nearly everyone.  That's what it look like with a 3 trillion dollar budget, only 3 times longer or 93,000 years.
