Hard to Believe but True

This is too true to be funny.

The next time you hear a politician use the word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about whether you want the 'US politicians' spending American's tax payers 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 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 the USÂ 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.

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago...and the US nation was the most prosperous in the world.

They had absolutely no national debt... They had the largest middle class in the world...
and Mom stayed home to raise the kids. What happened?

USA
