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 its 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.
How can this Madness be at least slowed down?
The intrest alone on 10 trillion dollars is something like
34 thousand dollars a second
Right now if EVERY man woman and child in the USA were to pay off the National Debt..... it would be over
$30,000.00 & going up by the second
