I think Magnus meant the zeros to the right of the decimal point. These are just noise and prevent someone from sensing the magnitude. If anything, they work the other way and perhaps magnify the dollar amount. This may be intentional.
Exactly.
If you want these numer to be understandable for most people you could divide them with the population. $11,500,000,000,000 federal debt is harder to understand then 37,000 dollar per individual.
Those of you above are proving what Newman is saying about being distracted. You are nitpicking and failing to step up to the plate by doing such.
The cents is that distracting to you? Come on..please. The numbers are staggering. The cents issue it meaningless.
This is a fault I see in TOD...Total nitpickyness in the extreme.
Sorry but your posts are soooo obvious.
