Here're two news items, both involving very BIG numbers
Zimbabwe rolls out Z$100tr note
How to Understand a Trillion-Dollar Deficit
Both articles are about numbers which go beyond our intuition.
100000000000000 Zimbabwe Dollars bill and it only fetches 30 USD. 231m% hyperflation.
And then, our Deficit. USD 1200000000000!!
Talking about inflation, Fed gave out 350 Billion USD to banks and is about to give 350 more to banks. Obama is talking about 1 Trillion Dollars stimulus plan. I'm not sure, how we can avoid inflation in USA in the next few years.
Peace
