Using space is a great way to visualize huge numbers. The distance to the sun from earth is a little less that the distance of one trillion dollar bills laid end to end. Also, the distance to the moon at its farthest point from the earth is less than the height of a stack of one trillion dollar bills and using the 14 trillion dollar debt number, the stack would reach the moon over 15 times.
