Another way to see the huge difference between $1m and $1b:
Let's say you made $1/second (which is an insanely good salary, $3600/hr), and you earned this not just business hours, but 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Earning $1m would take you less than 12 days. Earning $1b would take you over 31 years.
I was just thinking about this the other day. With 7 trillion dollar budget, which is projected for 2025, it would take something like 0.01% to end homelessness. At market rate rent.
