Governmental

Since astronomical distances are generally less than about 10^10 light years and U.S. federal government debt is on the order of 10^12 USD and will soon be 10^13 USD, then the term "governmental" ought to be used to refer to very large numbers.
Example: The current estimate for the auto industry bailout is merely astronomical, while the cost of the financial industry bailout is governmental.
