One Trillion Seconds

I heard this on the Glenn Beck show today (from... yesterday I think?) and was just pretty amazed by it. Perhaps you will be too?
"A million seconds equals 12 days.
A billion seconds is 32 years.
A trillion seconds is 32 thousand years.

54 trillion is what medicare and social security alone are in debt."

I was just amazed by the staggering numbers. A second is pretty short... so a trillion must be a whole lot. But yeah, when you think about 54 times 32 thousand years... well, translated to money, that's a lot of debt.
