How Much Is A Million, A Billion and A Trillion?

The Honorable Congressman Rob Wittman of Virginia
Congressman Rob Wittman gave us a visual image of how much is a million, a billion and a trillion
***
A Million: If you stack 1 million dollars in height (straight up) in $1000 dollar bills, it would be just 4 inches tall.
***
A Billion: If you stack 1 billion dollars in height (straight up) in $1000 dollar bills, it would be 364 feet tall.
***
A Trillion: If you stack 1 trillion dollars in height (straight up) in $1000 dollar bills,
it would be 63 miles high.

63 MILES HIGH!!!!!!!!
Wow!
Does this help you visualize how deep or tall our national debt is?
