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).

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