Billion With A “B”

February 07, 2012 By: bob Category: Something To Think About

The following is taken from a longer document I received online (author unknown) and was asked to share.  I think what it has to say is worth repeating.  If you agree, pass it along to others.

A Billion is a difficult number to comprehend but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into perspective.

A Billion seconds ago it was 1959.  A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.  A Billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the stone age.  A Billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

A Billion Dollars ago was 8 hours and 20 minutes at the rate our government is spending it!

It’s amazing what you can learn from simple division.  Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu asked Congres for 250 Billion Dollars (to) rebuild New Orleans.  If you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans, every man, woman and child would each get $516,528. Or, each of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans would each get $1,329,787.  Or, if you were a family of four, your family would get $2,066,012.

Hello!  Washington, DC – Are all your calculators broken?  100 years ago we did not have most of the taxes we have today,  Our nation was the most prosperous in the world, we had absolutely no national debt, we had the largest middle class in the world and mom stayed home with the kids.

What happened?  Can you spell POLITICIANS?

I could not have said it better……
