WHATEVER HAPPENED TO MILLIONS?

All you ever hear about today is BILLIONS or TRILLIONS. I know our money has been and is being inflated, so a nickel candy bar now cost a dollar or more so that's a factor of maybe 20 or 30, but 20 million is not a billion, and 20 billion is not a trillion. A thousand million is a billion and a thousand billion is a trillion. Makes this author's head swim. Please stop the merry-go-round, I'm getting dizzy.

With Love and Kindness,
