A trillion here, a trillion there: pretty soon you're talking a lot of money. People have no concept of how much a trillion is. Most people have never held a stack of $100 bills, and if they did they would think it's a lot of money. A trillion dollars in a stack of THOUSAND dollar bills would reach way out into space. It's an H E double toothpicks of a lot of money.
