Reading this: Your politicians are quiet near to ours.

But there is another Point: These sums are much to high for the human mind. Can you realize a Trillion dollars? I cannot. A million is easier. And it is the same in a town council with smaller amounts. I have visited some assemblies here and was very astonished how fast they decided about a new school for some 10 Million euros but discussed about two hours whether bus tickets should cost 20 cents more or less. I think they have a feeling for 20 cents but not for 10 million euros, and they have not calculated as Todd did.
