I've been thinking for some time that when US debt goes over a quadrillion, that will be the mass-psychological breaking point of the deficit (if it gets that far).
Folks understand the word "trillion" but many have no idea what a thousand trillion is, even if they've heard the word "quadrillion" before.
But you know something?...People **really** know the word "million". It's closer to them in many other ways. People also know the number "21" as a lucky number.
Why take a simple, elegant thing like "21 Million" and bastardize it? Because people can't count things well? We can do better.
