Beeelions and Beelions of dollars
All those economics graphs and explanations confusing you? You need to get a visceral sense of the size of the numbers involved to truly understand the enormity (which means horror, not size though in this case the two are connected) of the PNACBush budget.
The L-Curve is a good place to get such an understanding.
Big numbers aren't just for astronomers. If you can't understand big numbers you can't understand the economy and you will be at the mercy of propaganda mills when you walk into the voting booth.
Well… and directly… said.
The L-Curve has a bunch of cool pictures that illustrate the difference physically rather than logarithmically and our number system does.
