1. I would if all figures were actual (not in billions) too hard 2 understand
for most people. They won't/can't do the mathematical conversion..

Maybe someone can change it...

People will understand the visual impact of LOTS of zeroes, especially if there are dollar signs in front...

3. I agree
All those zeroes need to be shown and if the total is in the trillions then that needs to be shown also. But it's a great flyer and hits people where it will really make an impact, in their wallets.
