Million, billion, trillion? What's the difference?

A factor of a thousand. The refecting pool is a silly distraction! Total bullshit, but you could renovate a million reflecting pools for the price of one useless war (assuming you don't value the lives or property of the people you're fighting).

What's the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars? Essentially a billion dollars.

Yeah... innumeracy really isn't helping anybody here.

Confused at where the 1.5 trillion comes from, but maybe I'm just not following closely enough. (edit: pretty sure this is Iraq)
