To those that wonder how big a trillion dollars is, lets convert dollars into seconds.
A Million seconds ago was 2 weeks ago.
A Billion seconds ago was 32 Years ago and President George H W Bush defeated Mike Dukakis to become President.
A Trillion seconds ago was 32,000 YEARS ago and Cro-Magnon man walked the earth. Humans, (as we know then today) did not exist.
Hopefully that puts into perspective what a Trillion really is.
Let that sink in.

The components of the bill that address legitimate infrastructure account for only about one fourth of the total amount being appropriated and around half of the new spending. But it's an "infrastructure bill." Special interests cash in as the taxpayer gets screwed.
