This
is actually true and
not funny.
The next time you hear
a politician use the
word 'billion' in
a casual manner, think
about
whether
you want the 'politicians' spending
YOUR
tax money.
A billion is a
difficult number to
comprehend,
but one advertising
agency did a good job
of
putting
that figure into some
perspective in
one
of it's releases.
A.
A
billion seconds ago it
was 1959.
B.
A
billion minutes ago
Jesus was alive.
C.
A
billion hours ago our
ancestors were
living
in the Stone Age.
D.
A
billion days ago
no-one walked on the
earth on two feet.
E.
A billion dollars ago
was only
8 hours and 20
minutes,
at the rate our
government
is spending it.
While this thought is
still fresh in our
brains...
let's take a look at New
Orleans...
It's amazing what you
can learn with some
simple division.
Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D)
is presently asking Congress for
250 BILLION
DOLLARS
to
rebuild New
Orleans. Interesting
number...
what does it mean?
A.
Well...
if you are one of the
484,674 residents of
New Orleans
(every man, woman, and
child)
you each get $516,528.
B.
Or...
if you have one of the
188,251 homes in
New Orleans ,your
home gets$1,329,787.
C.
Or...
if you are a family of
four...
your family gets $2,066,012.
Washington, D. C.

ago...

most prosperous in the
world.
We had absolutely no
national debt...
We had the largest
middle class in the
world...
and Mom stayed home to
raise the kids.

Poli
- meaning many.
Tics
- blood sucking
parasites
And I still have to
press '1'
for English.

What the heck
