@dangillmor People don't have an instinctual understanding for large numbers, and often they are easier to understand if we divide by the population. So a billion dollars is about $3 per American, a trillion is $3,000 per American, 6 trillion is $18,000 per American. That is a huge number. What time period are they talking about? Something in that range is believable if the price of everything suddenly jumps.
