1529 Deficit - Literally Astronomical?

From Quotes of the Day.

Richard Feynman : "There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers."

That would be hilarious if it wasn't so damned scary that it's true.

HEY! My word verification is: asilkg how coincidental!
