It's Just a Billion

With projected deficits, bailouts and hand-outs being batted about, the next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether and how you want the 'politicians' spending YOUR tax money. I got this in an email recently (thanks Debbie.)


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 dollars ago was only roughly 46 hours ago at the rate our federal government

is spending it.
