$1,000,000,000

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 brain...
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.

  4. The Federal Reserve just keeps printing money everyday with no limit, just making paper that is valueless, all backed by a shallow promise.
