What's haunting the FtF team this Halloween? 👻 Contextualizing the massive numbers in our federal budget! Just how big are millions, billions, and trillions? We're using pounds of pumpkin to explain: 🎃 1 million pounds would decorate all of Buffalo, NY 🎃 1 billion pounds would keep the whole USA festive 🎃 1 trillion pounds would supply the entire country with Halloween celebrations for nearly 1,000 YEARS! For more examples: https://lnkd.in/emjj5mp4 Happy Halloween! 🍫
