 Trillion Cut Diamond Ring: Trillion Cut Diamonds
Trillion cut diamonds were first developed in Amsterdam, and often traditionally used as side stones to a larger solitaire on engagement rings.
The trillion shape is a brilliant cut, which means that it catches the light well which is what gives it that sparkle and fire.
The trillion cut is not for the person looking for that classic ring, but rather for that person that likes to take chances and go on adventures.

 President Portrays Social Security Shortfall as Enormous, But His Tax Cuts and Drug Benefit Will Cost, Rev 2/11/05
In fact, the $10 trillion to $11 trillion figure (the published figure is $10.4 trillion) represents the Trustees’ projection of the Social Security shortfall not over 75 years, or even 750 years, but into eternity.
Instead, the White House has used the $10 trillion to $11 trillion number in a manner that may be even more misleading than the Academy contemplated, since the White House has generally failed to note either that the number reflects the shortfall measured into eternity or that it equals 1.2 percent of GDP.
This $3.7 trillion “present value” shortfall in Social Security can be compared with the present value of GDP over the same period, which the Social Security Trustees project will be $567 trillion, or more than one-half of a quadrillion dollars.

While the subsidies were inevitably justified in the interests of national security, the projects and programs were in most cases captured and co-opted by domestic lobbies.
The rescue of Israel in 1973 cost another $1 trillion, so total direct costs, including the costs of the results of support for Israel, are some $1.8 trillion.

 Would Borrowing $2 Trillion for Individual Accounts Eliminate $10 Trillion in Social Security Liabilities?, 12/13/04
The $10 trillion number is taken out of context; it refers to the Social Security shortfall not over 75 years, but into eternity.
Most Americans hearing the $10 trillion figure (or an $11 trillion figure that the President cited on December 9) would not imagine that the cost of the tax cuts is larger than the Social Security shortfall.
The $2 trillion cost associated with the individual account component of the plan is not the “price” of obtaining the long-term savings.

 Names for Large Numbers
The English names for large numbers are coined from the Latin names for small numbers n by adding the ending -illion suggested by the name "million." Thus billion and trillion are coined from the Latin prefixes bi- (n = 2) and tri- (n = 3), respectively.
This usage became common in France and in America, while the original Chuquet nomenclature remained in use in Britain and Germany.
Anyone who uses the words "billion" and "trillion" internationally should make clear which meaning of those words is intended.

 U.S. National Debt Clocks . . . where federal debt comes from
The eye-popping $8 trillion gross national debt is owed by the "General Fund," AKA the Federal Funds.
That debt is owed by the General Fund to (1) the public (including China), (2) future retirees, (3) future medicare recipients, and (4) the highway fund, government and military retirees, etc. That's because the General Fund borrows from every other fund with a surplus.
The big red number is the "Gross National Debt," and the small red number is the "debt held by the public" -- as if borrowing $2 trillion form the Social Security Trust Fund was not borrowing from the public.

Well, for the last few years, as per a legal requirement pushed through Congress by fiscal reformers, the Treasury has published within its financial report, for informational purposes, an annual Asset and Liability Statement for the government that does follow GAAP rules, using accrual accounting.
To place these numbers in some scale, total US national income in 2004 was $10.3 trillion -- that was the total combined income of all individuals, businesses, everybody.
But even that is dwarfed by the eleven times larger one-year increase in current value liabilities for Medicare: more than $9 trillion -- four times the budget of the entire United States government in 2004.

 FactCheck.org Does Social Security Really Face an $11 Trillion Deficit?
The $10.5 trillion is a large figure, but it needs to be seen in the context of the present value of taxable payroll over the infinite horizon, which is on the order of $275 trillion.
The percent of taxable payroll is the portion of an employee’s payroll tax that goes toward Social Security and is currently set at the rate of 12.4 percent, half of which is paid by the employer and the other half by employee.
And to be solvent for the "infinite future," the $10.4 trillion shortfall equals 3.5 percent of taxable payroll, or a tax increase to15.9 percent of wages.

 $3 Trillion Price Tag Left Out As Bush Details His Agenda (washingtonpost.com)
A staple of Bush's stump speech is his claim that his Democratic challenger, John F. Kerry, has proposed $2 trillion in long-term spending, a figure the Massachusetts senator's campaign calls exaggerated.
His proposed changes in Social Security to allow younger workers to invest part of their payroll taxes in stocks and bonds could cost the government $2 trillion over the coming decade, according to the calculations of independent domestic policy experts.
The president has had little to say about the deficit as he barnstorms across the country, which has prompted Democrats and some conservative groups to say Bush refuses to admit there will not be enough money in government coffers to pay for many of his plans.

 Grandfather Federal Government Debt Report by MWHodges
In fiscal year 2005 (ending 9/30/05) federal debt rose to $7.9 trillion - $554 billion more than the prior year, which is a one-year increase of $1,869 per man, woman and child - or $7,476 per family of 4 - - another in a long string of new records.
Of the $7.9 Trillion in total Federal government debt outstanding at the end of FY 2005, approximately $4.5 Trillion was owed to the public (foreign and domestic) in the form of treasury bonds and T-bills.
Of that $4.5 trillion, nearly half, $2.1 Trillion, was owed to non-Americans.

 New York & NASDAQ Stock Exchanges
The capitalization of the Nasdaq was estimated at $5 trillion on March 10, 2000 when it reached an all time high of 5,048, so the 76% loss in value since then represents a $3.8 trillion loss to American "investors".
This $7.2 trillion loss seems to be getting no coverage at all in the "news media", even though it completely wiped out any remnant of American "personal saving", which had already gone in the red by $8.5 billion in 2000.
The DJIA all time high of 11,722 was 3.9 times higher than the high of 2,999.75 reached in 1990, so 74.4% or $7.44 trillion of this $10 trillion in "stock value" was created in only 10 years.

 CBS News | $7,782,816,546,352 In Debt | April 10, 2005 13:30:03
The president's suggestion in Parkersburg, that the $1.7 trillion in Treasury bonds held by the Social Security Administration is "not a pot on money to be drawn on," is a scary proposition.
So the problem is not just that Social Security may not be able to mail out monthly checks someday in the distant future but that, more perilously, the federal government may find itself so mired in debt that the whole economy just slowly grinds to a halt.
That is seven trillion, seven hundred and eighty-two billion, eight hundred and sixteen million, five hundred and forty-six thousand, three hundred and fifty-two dollars, and twenty-nine cents.

That's an increase of $2.3 trillion in a single year.
Indeed, it is absent from virtually all discussion of the federal budget -- the one currently estimating a piddling deficit of $427 billion for fiscal 2005.

 Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Iraq war could cost US over $2 trillion, says Nobel prize-winning economist
The real cost to the US of the Iraq war is likely to be between $1 trillion and $2 trillion (£1.1 trillion), up to 10 times more than previously thought, according to a report written by a Nobel prize-winning economist and a Harvard budget expert.
The study, which expanded on traditional estimates by including such costs as lifetime disability and healthcare for troops injured in the conflict as well as the impact on the American economy, concluded that the US government is continuing to underestimate the cost of the war.
But in terms of the total cost of the war "there may have been alternative ways of spending a fraction of that amount that would have enhanced America's security more, and done a better job in winning the hearts and minds of those in the Middle East and promoting democracy".

 In John Simon's Art, Everything Is Possible
Rounded off and expressed mathematically, the total number of conceivable variations within the grid is 1.8 multiplied by 10 to the 308th power (for purposes of comparison, 1 billion is a measly 10 to the 9th).
For the grid to become totally fl, the last "icon" that the applet is programmed to exhibit, Simon calculated that it would merely take several hundred trillion years.
You would arrive at something that was a skewed square, and then a few trillion years later it would be straight, and then a few trillion years later it would be crooked," Simon said.
